Grey/Blue Regiment



Lots of detailing and finishing off on these chaps tonight. Pretty much done other than hat lace, and maybe a brighter silver on the officers' weapons.

Still haven't really decided what I'm doing with the pike / Huguenot conundrum.

Historical accuracy or rule of cool?

Or they might get a transfer to the Jacobite cause.

Will it be more hassle explaining why they haven't got pikes to people who assume they should have them, or explaining that you KNOW they didn't have them but you'd already painted the figures and people expect to see them

The latter is what I would go with.

So give them pikes, seems to be the consensus?

Yes, pikes all the way!

Stupid Boy! Don't tell'em Pike.

I'm not adding a red scarf 

Until/unless/you can be bothered to acquire and then paint the musketeers to replace them, I'd go pike. They can always form the nucleus for another unit later

Looking terrific, Forbes ! 

Cheers - Phil

Based these chaps last night, and left the glue to set overnight, so some quick snaps this morning before work



And as they are marching, arranged in column

Just paint one collar lace red...

Look great on the bases Forbes

Looking cracking! I do like the beefy units. Now, get cracking on the alternate command sans pikes
