Hi all,
Backed this kickstarter last year, and now the figures are here, I'm now working out why I wanted to paint tarten again!
So, based to fit with a friend down the club (not how I would do them, but life is a compromise) to play Black Powder, the first three units of Lowlanders (these may expand to four soon) are done. The Lowlanders will be smaller units, as they will deploy in line and platoon fire, as opposed to highland charges!

On the way to Derby, or on the return?

Third Regiment, they will get colours one year.

What with the current isolation, and after 13 months, I came back to this little lot.
Four units of Highlanders. This was, to be honest, something I was dreading, especially the tartan. Thankfully, Iain left a useful painting guide on his Kickstarter, and once I got underway, it was game on!

These have four bases to a unit, as larger units and ferocious charges too.
McPherson and Atholl.


All three units (McPherson, Atholl and MacDonald of Clanranald)

And a front view. Close up.


Four Lowlanders and three highlanders done, they will be joined by two Battlions of Royal Ecosse and some characters next, and after the present unplesentness, it will be joined by one more Lowlander and two more Highlanders.

Good stuff Lemmey, they look superb  :-bd
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
