Excellent start Rob. You will enjoy the rules. Can't wait to see more of your figures.

They would normally have their usual regimental facings without any lace 

Keep up the good work

Sorry to pester- but I am still a little confused. Lets say I painted my regular infantry (as I have done) with yellow facings, and called them 15th regiment of foot, for arguments sake: would the light infantry be from the same regiment and have the same facing, or would they be from a different regiment and have different facings?

Is their such a thing as a Light Infantry Regiment, or are the light infantry part of the main Regiment of Foot? Just want to clarify this before slapping paint on a Light Bob

Hi Rob,

From 1757 the French & Indian War saw the formation of light companies from the British regiments, so yes, generally speaking, they would wear their regimental facings but without regimental lace. The light companies would often serve detached from their battalion, in concert with other light companies when required (similarly to the practice with grenadier companies).

Additionally the 80th Foot were formed as Light Infantry and the 55th saw extensive service in a light infantry role.

I hope that helps 

Cheers,

Lance

Here's a test of my Light Infantry for my British army. Many thanks to you wise people who gave me advice identifying the model and on the paint scheme.

Once again you comments are most welcome.

15th and 28th as well. Im currently painting the 28th for the Plains of Abraham.

Hope they'll loose the battle

Oups! forget to add, great paintjob on these figures

Excellent painting on the Lt. Infantry.
One question, is he wearing gaiters?
If he is, you might want want to outline them below the knees.

[Rob_bresnen]

Here are my British to date. I have done 12 Line infantry and 6 Light Infantry. Soon I will be adding some Indians, and eventually a commander and some 6 more Line, as in M+T you can have 8-12 in a Line infantry squad.

Light Infantry (also made the trousers red and gaiters white following Marine0846's comments)



Comments welcome.

These minis are by redoubt, but my Indians are Galloping Major. I am delighted how compatable these minis are scale wise.
