Ironclad British Line Infantry
« on: March 29, 2009, 05:05:31 PM »
Here's a picture of the first batch of Ironclad British infantry painted.
Since the campaign I'm planning takes place in Kent I chose to paint these as The Buffs.

10 down, 30 to go.

Ahh, Kent the garden of England :)

Very nice Mike, always good to see the thin red line. :)

Very nice work indeed. When do you plan to give them their baptism of fire?

Thanks very much. I'm happy with the way they came out.

I'm just about done with the second half of this unit as well as 20 Royal Marine Light Infantry and 20 Sailors.

While they will see some trials and training over the next few weeks they will most decidedly be put to the test in late May at Kublacon. I'm hosting a five game campaign over the convention weekend that starts with a Prussian landing at Romney Marsh and will follow the fight through the countryside between the coast and London.

I'm attempting to keep track of the various preparations on my website:

An excellent campaign idea. Lets hope you manage to repel the Prussians just short of London as we did last year.
We haven't heard the last of them though, they are still massing down on the south coast. ;)
Looking forward to seeing some battle reports.

Neither, I took my time with those. Washes and highlights over a base color.

Those look nice - think I'll go with Ironclad for my CIC treasure hunter warband (An exiled/retired/renegade/whatever British colonel with henchmen from his old regiment, and a few funny personalities thrown in....)
