From RichardM- Peninsular War 6mm Spanish and Dutch (135 points)

This weeks offerings are a bit meagre compared to prior weeks - a late start to the week's painting is simply to blame.

First up I have two regiments of Spanish cavalry.  They are the 3rd Almansa Dragoons with the blue facings and the 5th Villaviciosa Dragoons with the green facings.  I wanted to start with the Dragoons considering their yellow coats - the Spanish heavy cavalry are boring blue again.

Then there are 4 battalions of Spanish infantry in late war uniforms supplied by Britain.  They were supplied in both a light/sky blue and a dark blue colour.  Each had red facings apparently, although I have seen some (modern) illustrations with black facings also.  I intend to do four in total in light blue and I think six in total in the darker blue.  They do not represent any particular battalions - just too hard considering how the units and uniforms came and went on the Spanish side during the war.

Then I have continued with the Confederation of the Rhine troops that Napoleon used in the Peninsular.  This time it is the two Dutch battalions - one from the 2nd Regiment and one from the 4th Regiment.

With a lot of white uniforms to come - both Spanish but later and more significantly Westphalians and Austrians, I need to find a suitable wash or some other method to get some depth into the white uniforms.  

Points

Spanish infantry- 4 battalions of 24 figures @ 0.5 points per figure = 48 points

Spanish Cavalry - 2 regiments of 24 mounted figures @ 1 point per figure - 48 points

Dutch Regiment - 2 battalions of 36 figures @ 0.5 points = 36 points

Total = 132 points

From DaveD. Great to see more focus on this project . It’s always good to see people’s projects build up through the challenge period .Naps in small scale really allow that creation of armies and yours is looking mighty fine . I’m giving it 135 .
