I painted up some South Essex from Sharpe’s Rifles that I will one day be playing Sharpe’s Practice.

June 5, 2020 at 4:31 pm #1534866June 5, 2020 at 5:03 pm #1534892Thanks @alfonsothetraitor .That’s them going on the purchase list for a future project.
June 5, 2020 at 9:30 pm #1535052The Victrix are nice because you can get a whole box of Light/Grenadier Company minis. They look great! Excellent work on the mis-matched trousers!
June 5, 2020 at 10:23 pm #1535094I’ve never got further than looking at the Perry’s for 28mm Napoleonics, but those Victrix minis look pretty good too.
June 5, 2020 at 11:31 pm #1535132Thank you !
That was something that I saw in the Sharpe’s Rifles series that stuck with me that I really wanted to do when I finally painted miniatures .
June 5, 2020 at 11:39 pm #1535143I went with the Victrix Ltd for two mayor reasons first was value. You get 52minis for a great value and second was I went with the Peninsular flank companies because of the great poses. I mean you do get some block marching troops that you need for Napoleonic’s but you also get a lot of action poses that I wanted for playing skirmish games what I was going to play.
June 6, 2020 at 12:29 am #1535155It’s very historically accurate, something that Bernard Cornwell strives for in his books! (If no one has read the book series I do highly recommend it.) Basically, the British at the time were supposed to wear white canvas trousers, but when they wore out they bought local cloth to make new ones so they called them Portuguese Brown.
June 6, 2020 at 7:19 am #1535226They look great, lovely work. I remember going to the rifles museum in Winchester as a kid, they had a massive Waterloo battlefield all set up, it was very impressive.
June 7, 2020 at 4:45 am #1535764And thus begins the next great army build-up!
Two Samurai armies last time…….
This time are you doing the entire Waterloo battle in ‘One mini equal One Soldier’? It will be grand if you do it! 🙂
June 7, 2020 at 5:24 am #1535765That museum sounds awesome.
June 7, 2020 at 5:28 am #1535766Still working on those Samurai I had to stop because I ran out of Samurai . I will buy more when funds are made available. I had these sitting on the shelf for a while n out w and thought I would give it a try
