Painted up as the 22nd, 40th, and 45th Louisbourg Grenadiers under Wolfe. Small units of 6 for Rebels and Patriots. May add more figures later, but moving onto some French Infantry next.
The 45th have green facings, and the 45th have buff colored gaiters.These figures size up pretty closely with Perry figures - that is, they aren't overly robust and are proportioned realistically.They're based on GW-style 25mm round bases for skirmish gaming. I could use them for Muskets and Tomahawks, but would need to refresh myself with the rules again.Here's a picture of Foundry figures painted up as the same units here. I sold them to a buddy a while back. Although the details of the Foundry figures were better - like the raised sculpting on the mitre, I didn't really like the overall sculping and poses. The poses for these Brigade Games figures seem better for skirmish gaming.Thanks again for checking out the blog. Best wishes to you all.
Beautiful work, Dean, both old and new!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Jonathan! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteVery nicely done and with your normal speedy turn around. Really interesting to see the old and new versions. Grenadiers in this period are lovely to look at but a pain to paint !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. I think the Warlord Games ones have the mitre details sculpted on - may give them a try later. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteAs Matt and Jonathan have said, beautiful work. Looking forward to more posts with the battles.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Joe. Warmest regards, Dean
