Weather better than forecast this afternoon so got 17^th and 43^rd Foot varnished

Paul,

You might be interested to hear that  since I restructured my Muscovite army - changing the Behemoth pike block to 2 Spear elements - I will be doing a different army for the GBnUIT. Yep it is going to be a British AWI army which I decided upon due to a friend doing an American army also for the tournament. Always loved the period and of course the uniforms are always a treat. it is a totally different approach than how you are going about it, but a common thread. My main British brigade will be he 35th in orange facings and the 54th in popinjay facings. My Behemoth element will be a combined Indian with Butler's Rangers war party. Made it a Behemoth because it is big in a foes mind and creates terror to it's enemies. Plus it will be fun to paint.

Yellow facings done 'twice' on Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts

I also grabbed the chance to take some pictures of the British before the sun went down
There was enough light despite a heavy sun shower

17^th Foot





43^rd Foot





These are the final British units for this project

The Régiment de Royal Deux-Ponts is the final 'French' unit for this project, they are in fact Germans in French service

After they are finished I will do the final brigade of this project, von Voigt's Brigade, Germans in British service

Then some WWII merchant ships before I launch into the ECW
