New Victrix Scots

[garyapsledene]

Hi

You all may read about the new releases of the Victrix Scots, a box of each the Centre and flanks companies.

Looks very nice, however, I plan to buy only the Scot Centre company box as I already have lots of Brit Flank companies and use their arms to add onto the Scots to make flank companies.

I have already used the Brit flank figs for converting into Light Infantry by using the Light Co. Heads. As you can see, I had too many British Flank guys as in a Brit Batt as they only account for 20%.

I often wondered why Victrix use separate Boxed sets for the British Centre and Flank companies but for the French set - contains everything for a batt.

Anyway, they are all nice and are ideal for skirmish wargame.

cheers

Hi, the french flank companies only need a different coloured pom pom on their shako, whilst the British troops have the birds nests on the shoulders.

I do agree though Victrix should have done the flank coy as an option and only released one box.

The French Flank company also have different épaulettes than the regular fusilier. I too wonder why Victrix didn’t put all the figures needed in one box for the British... I bought a box of British Centre company when they got out but I still wonder what I should do about the Flack Coy. since ordering a box of them will leave me with a lot more figures that I need…

Conversions spares?

Easily done as they are plastic

Well, I could do some British Marines… I just saw that they are to release metal heads and weapons for them...

Apart from the shako badge, how about a light infantry battalion?

Being plastic the shako plate could be adapted.

I may buy some of these with the intention of using them for Flintloque. Some simple conversions to turn them into Ratmen shouldn't be too hard.

I am just waiting for the Russians to come out...

Yeah I red that on the Victrix website, I'll pick some up some  to make marines with figures left over from my boxes for Sharp Practice.
