Part of the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force, the B&T's have a bit of a ropey reputation to say the least, having been formed to support the RIC in their fight against the IRA. Formed mostly from ex soldiers they had a habit of taking their frustrations at losing any of their men out on the Irish populace and their belongings, hearts and minds not being a top priority for them during these troubled times in Ireland.
This thread is going to cover the painting of a 36 figure force for Chain of Command along with several soft skin vehicles, the figures are from Footsore Miniatures and I apologise in advance for the crappy photography.
Here's the first twelve.

Although this may come as odd coming from an Irishman, i'd say their rep was somewhat unfair, it's been suspected that much of their bad reputation came from the Auxiliary Division of the Royal Irish Constabulary which lacked the professionalism but they shared equipment with or in some cases just regular constabulary, to IRA fighters on the ground all three were interchangeable.
Looking good nonetheless.

Nicely done figues :)
-
Great paintwork Jeff.
-
I really like your painting style. Crisp, clean and precise. Lovely.
-
Excellent work. I was gutted that i sold my ones but sadly i had no to game them with :(
-
Pretty cool, do you have the list for playing the Irish war of independents and the civil war? Or is that on the too fat lardies site?
-
Very nice- I'll keep an eye on this thread as it's an area of interest of mine.
-
Nice brushwork on some lovely figures, Jeff.
:-* :-*
I am really looking forward to seeing the vehicles too.
:D

It's a commission matey, but I'm attempting to find out for you :)

First time I've done stuff like this (vehicles) Paul so fingers crossed :)
-
Nice work on those minis Jeff :)

Thank you, seems I got some reading to do.

Yep, more goodness ;D
-
Is there CoC list for the Irish Wars of Independence?
-
Not that I'm aware of, the early war British list with a few tweaks is being used for this collection.
-
Well I finished all 36 figures just the vehicles to go now. For the sake of these photos I've organised them into two "shifts" each with an Inspector and Sergeant and a machine gun crew.
Then there's the Heavy machine gun to support both shifts. The owner of the figures has said they will be used for the VBCW so the vehicles will have a pressed into service look and a few will have extra armour attached to them, something like the vehicles in the SCW.
I'll put some more photos up when their completed.
-
Ruddy gorgeous brushwork.
:-* :-*
Bring on the motors!
:D
-
Out of curiosity who is the HMG figures from. Thanks
-
Woodbine design company or Gripping Beast I think.
-
Nice, neat painting :-* :-* Great job.

They look excellent.
-
You have me thinking about getting some of these for my own VBCW project now, you bad man!
>:D >:D
-
Thanks for commenting chaps, Paul if you didn't spend your money on figures you would only waste it on trivial things like food and family Xmas presents lol
-
Splendid stuff. They look great ;D
-
Beautiful work there...the best of these models I've seen painted by far.
I would think the WW1 lists, suitably adjusted for the support assets likely to be available, would do the job. The COC Espana Irregular rules will be possibly useful if you wish to reflect 'mobs' as well as more organised unit. There are lots of other ideas in there to help reflect para military style forces.
Cheers

Superb :)
-
Well I've painted some more recruits for this force, another section of riflemen, a pack of Grenadiers.
Also some machine gun teams and some Senior Officers, I painted the chap with the arm band as a Medical Officer as that's an option with Chain of Command and Bolt Action.

Some more shots of the command pack.
