I'm married to a wonderful wife who as well as sometimes painting her own figures (example), and wiping the floor with me at Star Wars: Legion also knows the perfect gift and last month bought me the British Rifles Veterans Command - Chosen Men and the British Rifles Veterans - Chosen Men packs from Brigade Games.
The first fellow is a Rifle officer made up from the ranks carrying a terribly Sharpe sword.

The second figure is an Irish sergeant armed with both a Baker Rifle and a seven barreled Nock gun.
There are five Chosen Men in the pack, and they are all kind of familiar, not sure where I've seen them before :)
Rifleman Cooper and another |
Riflemen Harris and Perkins |
I'm basing my skirmishers in pairs, as there are only five in the pack, the "not Daniel Hagman" Cheshire Poacher is joined by a English Bulldog from Warbases to make up the numbers.
Rifleman Hagman and Baker the dog |
Seven 28mm figures will add 35 points to my total.
28mm Napoleonics Duel Totalizer: 14 mounted, 73 foot, 3 guns
"O'er the hills and o'er the Main,
In Flanders, Portugal and Spain..."
You forgot to claim points for Baker, so I've added a pupper bonus of of 3 points.

DeleteExcellent figures and paint job. I’ve done the same figures during the stay at home mission over the last year. Actually just put them on the table to try a solo SP2 game.
