The Butterfly, it seems, is a little settled in Mexico so getting plenty done currently.
These Imperial Mexican troops get me 3 short of a battalion so decent progress, all Wargames Foundry Camerone range.Three Liberals, the last two finish off a battalion of uniformed liberals, most will be in off white civvies. First figure is a Gringo 40's Few more of these to paint before I am anywhere near a unit.Before a brief holiday a bunch more done.These three Imperials finish this battalion and give me a command figure for Sharpe Practice, he looks suitable nasty.
Four Peons in poncho, couple more needed to finish off a battalion of Milicia.
Imperial Mexican Lancer, second of these, this guy just needs a red pennon to be finished.
Some more French, really pleased with the Colourful Chasseurs d’afrique but slightly undecided if the red shako white cover or shako with neck flap looks best to be honest.
The Mexican Imperial lancer in the background has had his lance pennant fixed on.
I should have 3 squadrons of 6 of these guys 2 Perrys and one of the new Warlord ones for Crimea making up the bulk of my conservative / French cavalry
Having picked up a bunch more Camerone figures from chum Dave these are the first two Legionnaires both figures I didn’t have in the 40 painted so far.
So I will continue to focus on French and Imperial troops for now, mainly as Chris has loads of Mexican Liberals already we can use, I will however continue to add a sprinkle of Liberalies as I go.

Hopefully some more Legionnaires and Chasseurs D'Afrique next time.
Thanks for stopping by.










Nice progress being made Roger and some lovely uniforms in this bunch!
ReplyDeleteCheers, got some interesting units in the pipeline.

Game planned, report in due gourxe cheers.
DeleteThese are looking good. Something Mexican or Cuban is definitely on my wargames bucket list. The Maximilian War is one of those really bizarre conflicts. Austrians, Egyptians and French fighting Maexicans. Brilliant stuff!
ReplyDeleteMexicans! I wish there was an edit feature. I’m too blind and crack handed to type on my phone. 😀
DeleteHaha me too, I drop photos in from my phone but use the laptop to add narrative
DeleteAlso its even more colourful than that Trev with some of the wried uniforms the Mexican Imperial troops war. More progress to share soon.
