It has taken me almost a year, but I finally finished up the batch, and I elected to paint them very simply. My intent is to use the Too Fat Lardies 'Sharp Practice 2' rules. These usually have between 30 - 50 troops per side, but as usual megalomania kicked in, and I added some boxes of Perry plastics, and the Warlord Games Woodland Indians & Artillery. Troops are organised into groups, of varying sizes ranging from 6 figures for skirmishers, to 8 for regular infantry, 10 for militia, and 12 for tribal troops. There are no set army sizes, but games normally scale for 5 or more groups.
I now have enough figures painted to field a decent sized British force, with Hessian grenadiers & jager, British skirmishers, a group of Highlanders and 3 groups of line infantry. The poor old continentals have been somewhat neglected to date, but they are now a priority!
The last lot of troops I decideed to make 'multi-purpose' so they can double as British line, with one group retaining their laced coats. The other two groups are wearing the simplified coats without lace, and can double as the American Webbs regiment.
The pictures aren't the best I am afraid, I need to work on my photography.
They look good mate.
ReplyDeleteWith the list of 28mm purchases listed there to the right, is this the start of a pattern?
Well, most of the local gaming that I have seen is in 28mm, so it makes sense, and I have been enjoying the SP2 & CoC so it makes sense. I do have 15mm Normans & Picts to paint, but I am much more likely to be playing in the larger scales in the near future.
ReplyDeleteExcept I have also been handed a large box of 6mm sci fi too...
