Warlord Games Highlanders for French and Indian Wars

[Dining Room Battles]

For the rule set  Rebels and Patriots, I am building a British Force around the 42nd Highland Regiment. I have already completed the Light Unit from the 42nd Highlanders and also a Unit of Rangers. The unit, to give me flexibility, will be a "large" unit as defined by the rules: 18 figures. For it to "look" right I want line, grenadiers and command to be in the same unit. Fortunately Warlord Games has some really good figures to represent this.

Nice work on those. The problem with doing the 42nd, or any other regiment that use the government tartan is that it is so dark, that in scale you may just as well paint all plaid a dark blue green and have done.

This is much too light for example...

Shahbahraz - I agree. When I first did the 42nd for the Napoleonic Wars at "gaming" distance you couldn't see the tartan pattern at all. I do the same thing you do; with the government issued pattern I make it lighter so it can be seen at gaming distance. Thanks!
