I picked up a small batch of Wargames Foundry Napoleonic Highlanders off ebay a while back – not enough for a big battle unit… so I’m not sure why I bought them… seemed like a good idea at the time, perhaps? They’ve been sitting primed and based in a box for a few years and I decided to put some paint on them – just in case I ever decide to have a go at Song of Drums and Shakos.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
There's a mix of Flank Company (Grenadier's and Light Infantry) and Center Company Jocks in this batch... but who's going to notice!?
The pioneer on the left is from Victrix, nest to him is a Jock from Wargames Foundry. I'm not sure if the Victrix figure is still available - I can't seem to find it on their website...?
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
The end of our first Song of Blades and Heroes Campaign. After five games everyone had pretty much decided they'd had enough of this one and are keen to start another. Before we do that, however, I'd like to get a bit of painting done, make some more terrain, and play a few one-off games to try some things out - including some different versions of the rules - including Song of Drums and Shakos, Of Gods and Mortals, and A Fistful of Kung Fu... maybe even Tale of Blades and Heroes.

ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
Deletevery cool stuff! i really like the way you paint!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteNice work on these; I have that Pioneer too - I think he came with a command pack IIRC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! Yes, I think it was a pack of two mounted Highland Colonels... and the pioneer...?
DeleteI suppose I need to find those Colonels and get them painted now!
Very nice miniatures, Tim !
ReplyDeleteThe pioneer is one of Victrix's older metal miniatures. A year or two ago they sold their whole metal range to Brigade Games who announced to make it available again and expand it at that time. I'm not sure but I'm afraid the haven't done either until now...
Cheers
