British 40mm Peninsular Additions

 Our recent game inspired me to paint up a few more British for this project.

The British troops are the ones I have most left to do with so will be nice to have enough to add to the game. These guys are the 88th Connaught Rangers, also know as the Devils Own.

The Perrys only made the one marching figure for the line which is a shame as I do like variety in a unit.

So its one figure with 4 head variants. Variety only provided by command figures.

Different coloured trousers are about all I can do to give them a slightly different look plus hair colour too I suppose.

The Sash and Sabre figures have a lot more variety but dont mix with these guys, a different build but also a different cut of uniform so not a good mix in the same company.

A lot more of these to come, I expect to have 40 for the line companies and maybe 3 groups of 6 skirmishers for the light company.

As I already have the base with the colours, I need another 4 figures to give me a formation of 2 groups, these chaps are just the ticket with the drummer providing much needed variety of pose.

As I am making progress with the units its also time to start thinking about what else can add some fun to the games, farm animals to steal and baggage to loot will be really useful, so here is the first one in the form of a pack pony.

This is an irregular miniatures casting and is very nice, The figures from their 40mm range are not a good match for Perry's being much much more toy soldiers but the animals provide a welcome addition.

Hopefully have a few more in due course.
