KenR : 28mm Malenchini Regt & Skirmishers (181 pts)

 

More Garibaldi this week, no library entries so I've put the entries together as one, with just one unit and one Command Base to go I should be done next week.

This unit is another of those that arrived in Sicily from Northern Italy (recruited in Tuscany) to support Garibaldi and formed part of the Medici Brigade. I was drawn to the simple, different uniforms to add another splash of colour to the army.

The figures are Plastic Perry ACW figs, no conversion just painted in the uniform of the Malenchini. 24 figs, 6 on a base 60 x 60. So that's 121 points for this bit of the entry (24 x 5 plus 1 for the flag)

I had 12 figures left after I had built the units I wanted so I have painted them up as skirmishers, here are 6 figs in the uniform of the Bolognesi Battalion which I finished last week. These are 2 per base on 60 x 30. 6 figs at 5 pts each is 30 points.

The other 6 skirmishers have been painted in the uniform of the Medici Battalion which I did last year, so that's another 30 points.

So all in all its 121 + 30 + 30 for a total of 181.

I'll see you next week for the last of the Garibaldi.

Regards Ken

It is always a treat to enjoy my morning coffee and the entry(ies) of the Yarkshire Gamer! These figures look lovely, and it must be a treat indeed to make use of the different colours to add variety to the units in the setting. I had no idea the Perry ACW plastics could be so adaptable to other settings - just by painting them in different colours! 

 

Great work Ken - another 181 points for you!
