More guys in red

These fellas from the Italeri set fare both as red clansmen in my JCW/JWI setting or mostly accurate Napoleonic era Highlanders. First half of the box here. I have an almost complete and painted set of Airfix Highlanders too which should get some rebasing and maybe shading soon (no group shot of them along with these ones). The one set I really miss is the newer Italeri one, PSR link here. These are very nice figs but I can't find them anywhere.

Oh my I actually left the bagpiper out. Hope morale won't fall.

These make up three units (companies or battalions, depending on what scale I'm playing) of 12 men, NCOs plus reserve. Sadly no officer in this set.

Thin red line

Italeri Napoleonic Highlander infantry - one of the oldest Italeri plastic sets re-done with the same mould (which means bucketloads of flash and mould marks and lines). The 25 Highlanders based and ready for action, which they saw later on Sunday and performed well but had been decimated.

Went with the lighter shade on the bases; now these might be not historically accurate, but the figs at least are lovely and quite easy to paint. Italeri's done a better set of Scots already but I can't find it anywhere.

Finished units - Red clans' Fesselsorwillon heavy cavalry

This style of painting makes them look terrific I have to admit. Will fix new pennants on the lances.

Forming a wedge here (looking epic).

Finished units - Red clans guard sappers/grenadiers

Nothing much to comment on, they're ready, wearing black.  Besides Major Gellesger's battalion of grenadiers, Maquirech's regiment has a company of Guard Sappers during the 10596 winter campaign. They'll have a lot work to do.

First of all, I haven't used washes on these (painted 29, the rest 12 will be given away), only on the faces and hands, after which I mixed up a black paint/matte varnish for a dip: the result is quite significant!

Finished units - Red clans line infantry

40 figs overall, command with standard+musician and 3 battalions of 12 men

Command with the figure representing Col. Sannereid in the Winter of 10596 Campaign (the page has been updated today as well)

"Winged hussars" - Red clans heavy cavalry - finished

Well as I said the painting became quite messy, still an impressive sight. The paper bases can be seen here  well enough - the glue seems to hold.
