79th Cameron Highlanders - Victrix
Well, I did go ahead and repaint some of the previously painted 42nd Highlanders. All I did was add red and yellow overstripes to their kilts; as well as paint over their blue facings with green. After I add a command group of two colors and two musicians, they will be a 24-man unit.
The remaining 42nd Highlanders have 28-figures, but four of them are kneeling figures, so I may not use them. 24-figures is considered a "Regular" sized unit for Black Powder - basically a battalion. I don't think either Highland unit ever had more than one of their battalions in the Peninsular at any given time, so I figured I'd have one of each. I'm hoping to remove most of the figures I have on washers and rebase them four each to a 40X40mm wooden Litko base.

Wow, they look fantastic!! The kilts look very impressive!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly brilliant Dean. The kilts look really good.
ReplyDeleteThose really look amazing...excellent work
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gents! The pattern is a simplified version, of course. Painted for effect rather than exact accuracy. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteOnly way to paint Tartan, to keep it simple and yet looks the part. Well done Dean on a fine looking unit.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Great work, lots like a few hours has gone into painting these troops.
ReplyDeleteMust remain strong and keep away from 28mm Naps!!!
great looking figures and excellent tartan.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much everyone for the kind words. Black Powder really has me focused on Napoleonics again - it's simple, yet engaging and fun rules. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteGreat work, they'll look even more impressive based in groups.
ReplyDeletedamn fine looking unit. Really good job Dean
ReplyDeleteFantastic Dean love the tartan very hard to do!

You are mad you know - only the hardest of all paint jobs bar none! And you have developed a great system for doing tartans - fantastic result. Now all you have to do is paint up another lot as the 42nd! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Doc
They look awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive, Dean! Will look even better in 4's.
ReplyDeleteThanks again so much, everyone. I'm looking forward to having them rebased onto group stands. Best, Dean
ReplyDeletewonderful looking minis. Well done. you've been busy in my absence. Love your romans also.
ReplyDeleteAs always, great looking minis. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLooking to get rolling with Black Powder sometime next year. Hopefully I can convert some of the locals over to historicals with this great rules set. :-)
Very nice work, Dean. I have around 40 of the newish Perry Highlanders waiting in the wings and I'm trying to steel myself for the work ahead... This is good inspiration!
