WW1 Highlanders

[Zafarelli]

The first miniatures I painted since september last year. Sad, I know.



The miniatures are from Renegade Miniatures, some with swapped heads from West Wind.

I like how the Tartan turned out, though to my dismay I had to discover that even in World War 1, the Scottish regiments wore brown kilts  :freak:

The bases are not finished, I'll add some static grass once their are varnished. I'll post some pictures with better lighting once this is done.

Cool!  I like them!

No, Highland soldiers wore khaki aprons or covers to hide the kilt's colours when in the field. Your lot obviously weren't issued them.

They look real cute - fab paint job

Thanks all!

Gundamentalist, after the tartans were halfway done, I did a Google picture search, which came up with only khaki soldiers, thus my hasty conclusion. I shall use your explanation when someones asks about the pretty colours, and how disgustingly historically inaccurate they are  ::
