About the Project
I've got a whole bunch of Napoleonics in my collection so a friend convinced me to put together a warband for Silver Bayonet.

The Final Warband
There they are, one warband for Silver Bayonet. All made from bits and pieces I found in my collection, stripped and painted, Irish with a twist and ready for a game.
Basing
I got some 25mm MDF bases in the mail and got the minis off their painting bases and onto these gaming bases
Good old fashioned sand bases. I want to keep with the Irish theme and have some water puddles on the bases because of the strong association between water and the supernatural in Gaelic mythology.
Burnt Umber from the dollar shop watered down both seals and base colours the bases
Khaki drybrush over the top to make the bases pop a little, so far this is bog standard basing for me
Green Static grass is glued on with PVA
Very light Blue was painted into the spots left for them
Gloss Varnish over the blue
There's one final basing touch but I'll save those pictures for the final post of the finished miniaturesFinished Miniatures Part Two
Pvt. Aodhan Lynch. 27th Inniskilling Light Company
Artilleryman Rory Ryan. 
Rifleman Brian Fogarty. 95th Rifles
Colm Dolan. Sapper 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers)
Finished Miniatures Part One
I decided to theme my Warband on a Group of Irish Catholics. Basically the idea that in a Supernatural war the British Government has seconded a group of Catholics to Papal Service so long as it doesn't interfere with their British Army duties. It also lets me justify adding some Spanish or Italian minis down the road and opens up some additional Lore for games in Italy ect. I have given them all a Papal Cockade which I'm sure the British Government of the day would find most unacceptable but times are desperate.
Lieutenant Patrick O'Connor - Light Cavalryman. Painted in the Colours of the 18th King's Irish Regiment of Hussars
I'm imagining all those buttons on the Pelisse are pure silver as is the lining of the sabretache, perfect for dazzling vampires and werewolves
Dr. Jack Sullivan - Doctor and generic British Uniform with non-regulation pants to break it up a bit. I tried to use unique colors where I could to make the warband look interesting not just a collection of regular people.
Dr. Liam Lynch - Supernatural Investigator. Calls himself a doctor but nobodies sure of what. Knows more than is healthy for a sane man to know about the Supernatural. 
I'll paint the bench when I base the mini of the proper gaming base.
Captain Daniel O'Reily. Captain of the 87th Prince of Wales's Irish Regiment of Foot.
A man in his mid 20's his hair is pure white from fright after first encountering a Kelpie during everyday military duties he lobbied for the creation of this unit. The gloves are worn because during the encounter his hands were stuck to the creature and he had to tear them off leaving them badly scarred. The rest will be in Part Two. I also want to do up some more lore and background for this warband as I feel that's where the real flavour comes from in a game like this
Post Wash
The Pre Wash. I got into a zone and forgot to take pictures
I definately reggretted the Beige layer for the pants. I never use that and I wanted to try it. A light grey gives a much better undertoneThe Beginning of Painting
Some of these were painted and some weren't. I wanted to do this project for fun so the first step was to strip all the minis that I had previously painted, the Officer and Artilleryman were already undercoated.
