From TeemuL: Rest of the British Napoleonics (40 points)

I promised last month to finish the British unit for Peninsular War this month and here they are, although almost on the last minute. I've been hunting squirrels and skulls, no time for these kinds of projects. A Shako Duel on the next AHPC, perhaps?

Nothing new with these guys, the same old Victrix plastics, four on the 40x40 base. These are meant for front row of the unit, kneeling soldiers allowing the back row shoot (or just look around). As I said earlier, this unit was assembled of the minis I had left from three different Victrix boxes and I had to use every single body to make a complete 24 strong unit. That's why the unit as whole might send mixed signals, if you are looking at it like a vignette. But on the table they will be in different formations anyway, so they will look funny at some point.

These are painted as 24th Warwick, as at least as my research on the box covers says. Mixed Contrast paints and traditional acrylics to get them done in reasonable time. Some time spent on regluing the broken bayonets...

At this point of the project and challenge, I guess a photo of the whole unit painted during this challenge is in order. Here they are accompanied with a commander stand painted in December. The commander is Uxbridge, thank you Curt for correcting that detail.

And below is the whole British Army at my disposal at the moment. The plan is to have two playable forces when I retire in about 15 years. Two units in a year should do it!

Not much more to say, 8 painted minis for 40 points. And I hope to finish an entry or two before the Challenge ends!

Lovely work Teemu! These new additions look great and I'm sure welcome recruits to your growing force of British Napoleonics. Remind me next time and we'll get a 'Shako Duel' on the books. I'm sure there are more than a few of us that would pick up the gauntlet.  :)
