Last weekend, after building four British Riflemen for my wife I thought to myself….. ‘well, there are still another 28 in the box so I’ll build a few for myself’.

These then got a quick black then grey spray and I started testing out shades of green from my somewhat limited selection. Applying to the base rims.

Wait, more Brits?

Looking at the pts costs I realised that I couldn’t actually field an Officer and 7 riflemen ?

Then I recalled that I had a box of Victrix British infantry somewhere…..

Gone up since then, but still not expensive

So it was on to building up some of these. I did a few initially, then ended up having to do the same number as I had of Riflemen, because… reasons.

I also did a minor conversion on one – cutting off a bare hand, drilling out a socket and using a pistol hand (that seemed to have no reason being on the sprue, since there was no socketed arm for it…). This can be an Artillerist, so I gave it the non Shako head.
