Three rounds a minute in any weather
I always find a flogging brings on a spleen, don't you?
Based the first formation. I’ve got a mix of play sand, some basing grit and a few shades of flock in there. The base mix looks much more flock-heavy than it’s actually come out, probably because the sand is so fine.
I’ll see how the effect works out but it’s a bit light-looking for my tastes. In this period of the war this regiment fought in Portugal and Northern Spain so they should actually have more green on there.
What I might do is get some darker static grass and apply some liberally later on in bulk to the whole force. I’ve got a bit of fine green flock that might be a good idea to mix in with the batch (the flock I normally use is quite chunky really)
Grouped up and bleached by the relentless power of the sun like this the differences between the two groups are minimised which is a relief, I wasn’t looking forward to redoing all that white on the first group.
I did originally flock the the single-figure tray (I’m using different outer diameters for my leader statuses) but it looked absolutely dreadful, like honestly terrible. Instead I think I’ll keep it black and paint it with a status level indicator or something similar; after all it’s a gaming aid rather than a base.
Bleed me again dammit!
Lovely work.I do like the solidea black ring it makes it easily spotted.
Thanks! The idea on table is that as status is affected by events or injury I can swap out the status level base for the correct one. It also means that my officers will be the same height as their men!
I’m hoping it’ll look pretty effective, though a giant black disk might be a bit ugly on the table idk.
I didn’t think through mounted officers or I’d have bought similar bases for those (some of the ones in the perry plastic box were the right size for a single horse so I just used those.
Very nice looking!
I wouldn’t worry about looking too Bright that Spanish Sun did a real number on the British Uniforms.
Something I really like is that you actually found a proper Captain rather than (like me) using a Senior Officer and just ignoring it. For those who don’t know the Epaulettes are how you tell British Officer Ranks in this period.
Figuring out which officer is which has been a nightmare. I’m no military buff at all, I had to go find out what the ranks actually were first, then try to find out what their uniforms were like at the time. The post-1812 uniforms are generally better accounted for unfortunately for me.
I’ve got some mounted colonels from Perry for my status 3 leader(s) – they come in packs of three – then I’ve got some sergeants but no lieutenants (I believe they wore shakos rather than bicorns, but I can’t find where I read that)
