The figures look like they could be really nice, although I'm not crazy about having to buy four of their metal figures in order to get 20 plastics.

Bonjour,

I'm not crazy about having to buy 20 plastics to get 4 metals!

Each to their own.

Cheers,

You could always try asking them, I've had warlord do a few custom orders for me, for example the two foot miniatures from the Napoleon carriage.

Alot of the stuff is cast to order so im sure they would help with casting an extra command set if you asked nicely.

[Kommando_J]

Exactly, they told me in future just ask, some stuff they cannot do separate(like the army book miniatures) but most other stuff is fair game, along with the napoleon minis I got a replacement horse for an officer and a bunch on single miniatures that came with bigger sets.

*sigh*
yet more stuff I would like to get 

[Atheling]

Given that Alan seems to have have just started doing the Peninsular I'm not sure how well these will sell(?).

I know that it was suggested in the 'add' for the Peninsular Brits that they would be doing the more 'off the wall' troop types who saw service there and it would be folly to assume that the Brits would at least be supported by the Portuguese wouldn't it?

Having said all that, I haven't seen the pics proper of the WArlord offerings and don't know the Perry plans for the Peninsular so I don't really know.

Thought this might be interesting; http://www.warlordgames.com/painting-napoleonic-portuguese/

Note that piping, cuffs and collar colours depend on the regiment,
I think that this reference is correct:

Also if he's doing late war Portuguese hasn't he fitted the wrong heads, they look like "barretina" in the pictures?

[gustav]

/insert button counter mode here

not convinced by the blue used either, looks too light to me.
/end

but nevertheless still a nice job

[Jabba]

Agreed nice easy to replicate paint job, also thought the blue looked a bit too light, but that's personal preference, mostly, and still may get some as they are easy to paint.
Commented about the Shakos as this was a "how to" article on the manufacturers own website and, as both head types are included I believe they have missed an opportunity to inform their customers as to the uses of them 

[Jabba]

Anybody know if figures for Light, Grenadier and Fusilier companies are included in the boxes?

Cheers
