The 4th Regt of Foot




Being a full-strength battalion it can split into two wings:


The Grenadier coy and 4 line companies under the Colonel


4 line coys and the Light coy out skirmishing under the second-in-command


The second one of my battalions is on the painting table : Perry miniatures 1/43rd Light Infantry



I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

2019 Painting Challenge :
figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57
9 vehicles painted
4 terrain pieces scratchbuilt

The 4th look magnificent!  Well done a James.

Also pleased to see you are straight on with the next regiment, you will very soon catch up I’m sure!

They look like they are shifting a pace to me!  Nicely animated figures.

Know what you mean though....real life and work now getting in my way too so a slow down is inevitable.  However, persevere matey, won’t be long and you will have two magnificent regiments.....cracking.

What’s the little cart?  I like that.

It's from Alternative Armies. I discovered them just before Christmas. They do a few really nice carts they are must-haves.

Late in joining my Anglo ally, but then manjana (I'll check the spelling tomorrow)
is a Spanish word.
My first unit to take the field. Militia from Eagle miniatures.
They had been (hiding ?) in my lead mountain. I bought them
'back in the day' when Partizan was still at Kelham hall, before
even the 'big marquee' year!
I have received more from Eagle, though they will be line troops,
& will be in White (see other recent comments on how to paint
white uniforms) & I have yet to decide how to paint them.

Huzzah!  They look great Peter!

I like all your atmospheric shots of them coming through the town.  Proper look about them too.

Enemy forces are growing!

Beautifully painted minis and excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing!

By raiding my 'Embuscada' (Peninsular skirmish) stock, &
adding four more Scots, I now have a second unit to fight
Senor Digit's troops.

Not sure how wide those bases are, but we will work them somehow.

The lads on the left look like they’ve had a few jars!  Awesome!

They are just showing their opinion of the French.
