Title: 87th & 88th Highlanders for the SYW
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 20 December 2023, 10:43:07 AM
No offence to any Scotsmen reading this, but God I hate Highlanders, with their stupid bare knees and irritating crissy-crossy bits!  I've previously painted tartan for the AWI, Napoleonic Wars and even the VBCW, but these will be my last.  I'd love to wargame the '45, but I think that might be the path to an early grave. 

Anyway, I've done the 87th & 88th Highlanders for the SYW in Germany, so read all about it on the blog.  These are Eureka 18mm, with flags by Maverick Models:

These Eureka figures have the grim , angular faces we associate with the craggy Scots of the period. I love ‘em .
