Two First Carlist War units in 15mm
« on: 29 July 2022, 08:27:08 PM »

I’m currently finishing off my long neglected First Carlist War collection.  Here are two units, one for each side. 
The first unit is of National Militia very much the armed wing of Liberalism.  Competent at defending fixed positions in their home areas. They fared less well in the open field.  They had a reputation for massacring prisoners and consequently fared badly if captured by the Carlists.  Figures from QRF.

The next unit is seldom seen.  Portuguese volunteers for the Carlist Army.  The visual clue is the green boina (beret) that they favoured.  They were thought to be good troops.  The grenadiers are from Totentaz Miniatures and the rest from QRF.  They fit well enough together.

The figures are big 15s more like 18mm.

British Royal Marines for the First Carlist War below.

The figures are a mix of QRF and ERM.  I don't think the ERM figures are available anymore.  Anyhow as you can see the mix nicely enough.
