9th Foot : American War Independence

This week I have been busy getting this next regiment finished. Some of the figures had been part painted but to match them in i have almost completely re done them. I needed to botch one of the standard pole tops and purists will note they have a replacement officer, perhaps promoted from another regiment ? But happy with the overall regiment, again Perry plastics. I have purchased some standards which are better. These are again a 24 man unit but the plan is to mix them up with slightly smaller 20 man Regiments.
 The 9th Foot
I also finished this guy for the Russian Civil War we will have some special rules for commissars when we finally get back to gaming.

That’s it for this week although I have some other stuff nearly finished 🙂 hope everybody is keeping well and safe.

      Thanks Stuart........I fear it might be some time before they get to the battlefield but I have the makings of the first brigade, and with some potentially more time isolated at home you never know.

      Thanks David, the Perry sculpts are pretty good,I do like the fact that scale wise they match their metal ranges really well. They also match the Perry Foundry figures as well. I do have a number of metal units to paint....👍
