Not sure about you but when I get a collection out for a game I get an urge to paint and add something to the collection. The recent First Carlist War game was no exception, luckily I still have several figures in "stock" so it would not frighten the fighting fund.
Rather than paint a large unit for one side I decided to paint a small skirmisher unit for both sides.
For the Carlists some Valencian volunteers.
For Isabelino forces British Auxillary Legion riflemen.
We played a Post Roman Britannia game earlier in the week unfortunately the poor light quality that day made taking photos a none starter. Just for the record the Saxons avenged the demise of Pendafud in the previous game with a victory.
Although I have projects in progress something new this way comes...............
TTFN & KBO

Thank you Aly. The problem will be keeping it grounded π
DeleteI enjoyed seeing these, not least because my father painted the Riflemen I have, while I've painted the Valencians.
ReplyDeleteI have some Royal Marines started that I must get back too but like most of us i have other projects to distract me.
I look forward to hearing about your new project.
