The Harper figure came to me from Garry, so I don't know the maker.
There must be at least 4 different manufacturers in the unit.
Connoisseur, WarLord & Front Rank for sure.
You are right it is time I did a Spanish line unit for my Spanish force.

As Digits has kindly added to the British (see his Highlanders) I feel
it is only fitting that we offer to assist the French recruitment,
though only an under strength skirmish unit, Voltegeurs De Regiment
De Irelandais.

But those Frenchies are Irish!

One of my (planned) Spanish units will be in Sky Blue, not white.
They too will be Irish. Good scrap if those two units meet.

More Irish?  I didn’t know they fought in a Spanish service too!

The grass seems much more green on the allied side of the battlefield...my Frenchies are obviously pushing a scorched earth policy!

Thanks Warboss. Back at school, which has put a break on my production.
I am finding odd bits to fill available (now limited) time. I think I am
building up courage for painting those all white Spanish uniforms.

For all white uniforms give white primer and contrast paint white a try (plus dry brushing). I was sceptical myself, but was quite pleased with the result on storm troopers for Star Wars.

Having followed all the advice, that came in response to Digit's request,
I was thinking of trying that method Warboss. Sounds like an easier option
to some of the others, and I hope will look OK en masse.

Some new recruits!
Some old figures, earmarked for Embushcada (Peninsular War Skirmish),
with a few new ones from Eagle Miniatures.
OK they are under strength units, but they are units.

In green are the Cazadores, 1st De Aragon.
In brown we have the Batallion Voluntarios de honor de la Universidad de Toledo (Bloody students)

Colourful chaps these Spaniards!  Nice one.

I assume “Bloody students” appealed to your teacher background?

Another 12 minis and those chaps in brown will make a decent full strength battalion....are the minis still available?
