The 71st were sent to Portugal as part of Moore’s army in 1808. After the retreat at Corunna, the regiment took part in the Walcheren Campaign in 1809, before returning to the Peninsula in 1810. It fought at the battles of Fuentes de Onoro, Albuhera, Arroyo dos Molinos, Alamaraz, Vitoria, Sorauren, Nivelle and Nive.

The 71st also fought at Waterloo in 1815, and formed part of the army of occupation in Paris.

The majority of figures are by Xan, with the command group by AB Miniatures. The colours are from GMB Designs.

Nice to paint some Highlanders and not worry about tartan, although I should now try and finish the Gordon Highlanders.

Nice work! How did the green stuff hat bands work out? I have to say that the smaller the item of green stuff, the harder it becomes to work, so hats off for trying it on 18mm hat bands, if you’ll pardon the pun!

Great stuff, the bands worked out well. Would like to think I had the patience however I’d be lying.

Amazing work, @scribbs – I especially like the King’s and Regimental colors and also the more arid, rocky look on the bases. Very distinctive, and I would assume more characterisic of the battlefields in Spain.
