Irish for Silver Bayonet

[Mick A]

Here is my Irish Rebellion unit for The Silver Bayonet, they may well double up as bandits as well...
Figures by Trent Miniatures.

I like these! I haven't seen these figures before but they look the part and your colour scheme ties them together well. They would work well in the game. An ideas for nation-specific rules/soldier types for Irish rebels?

[Iain R]

Those character figures look far better painted up than the images on their website would suggest! Great job!

[tikitang]

Very nice!

I bought the ten Irish "insurgents with firearms" from that range to be the Bandits.

[Cat]

Up the Republic — very nice!
 
Hmm, some Batavian allies would complement them nicely.

Thanks  I'm just going to use the Spanish options for them as that seems to be along the right lines.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great sculpts and your painting brings them to life, loving them!

[MaleGriffin]

Fantastic figures! I'd love to see them in action!

[Bloggard]

great figures and paint-jobs.

[carlos marighela]

Very nicely done Mick! They lend (Wolfe) tone to what would otherwise be a mere vulgar brawl.

The Irish,
all their wars were happy,
and all their songs were sad.

Nice idea & nice execution.

[Kikuchiyo]

these look great and particularly ideal for bandits - how do they scale against Perry?

[JollyBob]

These do look good, I have picked up a few of the Trent range myself for SB, raggedy irregulars and such.

how do they scale against Perry?

Generally, I would say the Trent figures suffer from Martin Baker's tendency to pumpkin heads and diddy arms so don't work aesthetically with Perry, but for the odd character and from the distance of a table top they would do.
I have one figure that I am mixing with Perry and Brigade figures as he looks like a fat thug in a powdered wig (the character will be a Supernatural Investigator, a kind of Aleister Crowley type).

[Kikuchiyo]

cool

I was looking at this chap as a scout, his head and hands seem in proportion?

[JollyBob]

Yeah that's a nice one - don't get me wrong, I have loads of Mr Baker's figures and I think they are really characterful, but there is a distinct gradation with them. Some are REALLY nice, and would mix with anything, some (especially rank and file) look a bit rushed out and suffer from the aforementioned big head/little arms thing.

It's absolutely not a deal breaker, but in comparison to Perry for example, the proportions can seem a little off. (Cue fourteen pages of people saying "yeah but real people all look different"!)

Apologies to Mick for the slight derail there, back to praising his lovely Irish ruffians.
