Post by: jscottbowman on 20 October 2011, 10:16:54 PM

I have made a start on my RN crew for LotHS, first figs finished:

The figures are from Brigadegames Caribbean Empires range

Yes, I've been looking at these figures. They look very nice with bags of character. How do you like them? Good to paint?

@ Captain Blood - yes the figures were good.

Detailing was crisp, with minimal mould lines or flash. They are comparable with the Foundry pirate figures that I have, although perhaps ever so slightly smaller and slighter of build.

Only shame is these are all they have at present, so I'll have to bulk out my crew with figures from other ranges - probably Foundry's RN napoleonic boarding party.
Plus some suitable figs for Marines...

regards
Scott

Very nice paint job on those. youv'e really done em justice.
 Someone does seperate Royal Marine heads,(Victrix I think),stick them on penninsular war british bodies and voila.

Darn, there for a minute I thought someone had started a range of registered nurses!  lol (my wife is just such so I'd naturally get so confused)

That's a sharp-looking crew!  May they fare well in battle.

Very nice, hope they make more officer types like a captin and a middy or two.
