From Richard P - WSS Front Rank British (270 Points)

Finally managing to get some progress. Another 3 units completed for our early 18th Century games which include WSS and the fictional Indian Ocean island chain of The Woebetides. 

As usual for this project all figured are Front Rank (Gripping Beast) and are painted in units of 18 figures. There are always 16 foot plus a couple of Officer/Sergeant types so they can be used in Sharp Practice games as well as Beneath the Lily Banner games. I intend to add some flags at some point.

Anyway I have now completed 2 x 18 man Guard Infantry units plus 18 foot that eventually will have the rest of the figures added to complete another 2 units. Just on the painting table are the remaining figures including the officers etc. I also have some more Bavarians and the beginnings of the Dutch on the painting table that hopefully i'll get finished before the end of the Challenge.









As always I really enjoy painting Front Rank figures. Thanks for looking!

So that's 54 x 28mm Figures @ 5 points per figure = 270 Points



Those early redcoats look glorious, Richard! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project before the Challenge ends.

  2. It’s easy to see why these are called the Lace Wars. Some very crisp painting and I love the grenadier caps. Well done, Richard!
