The final battalion of the line infantry for the British AWI expansion is completed. This is the 46th Regiment of Foot.
Astute readers will notice that this unit is smaller than others in this collection, counting sixteen instead of the usual twenty figures. This is simply because I was two figures short of another full stand. So this unit will be rated a small unit and the two spare figures will find a role as camp guards or something.
The remainder of this expansion project, three mounted officers, a battalion of combined grenadiers and a couple of gun sets along with their limbers, are enroute…sitting in Singapore according to the track and trace…and should arrive Monday, which is quite timely as the last of the available painting stock is on the painting table right now.
Nicely done unit. Looking forward to see how they do on tabletop.
ReplyDeleteMe too…but I fear it will be a month or more before we get a chance for face to face gaming.
DeleteNice unit Mark. When you say small unit, is this still for use with your in-house rules as I know Black Powder have a similar rating system?
ReplyDeleteYes I have adopted the large, standard, small and tiny unit approach to provide variety. The standardised unit sizes can provide a rather predictable game.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing these all on the table top.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your work on these and the 1870 Prussian I am interested in trying my hand putting some plastic figures together. They look great.
Thanks Mark. There is another battalion about to be finished and then another nine on the way, along with the first of the cavalry.
DeleteFirst class regiment Mark!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteAnother nice looking unit Mark…
ReplyDeleteI also like the opportunity to have different unit sizes… it can make a game quite interesting.
All the best Aly
Thanks Aly. I think the varied unit sizes are crucial to capture the flavour of some conflicts - the ACW in particular - where unit sizes varied greatly.
