Apologies I have had these painted up for a while but realised I hadn't even registered for the forum! That changed with the non Kickstarter for the peninsula war figures.

Figures are mainly singly based for Sharp Practice, all sabot bases etc are, as always, from the great folks at Warbases. The size of the groups reflect their quality, the smaller the group the better their quality.

From the rear, twelve strong groups of "Badmashes", then ten strong groups of "Sepoy Rabble", concluding with eight man groups of "Well Ordered Sepoys". The six man group in front are skirmishers, with leaders dotted around.



The next shot has more "Badmashes" backing up some feudal troops belonging to a local princeling.



Cavalry played a good role in the campaign, these can serve as loyalists or rebels supporting the artillery. I need to make some blanks to fill the holes in the sabots.



Finally everyone needs carts, mules and civilians. All figures here are from Pendraken.

I like those!

It's nice to see a goodly number of civvies too.

Very nicely done - what size bases you you used for the individual figures? They must be fairly small, by the look of the size of them compared to the figures

10mm if I remember correctly

Thanks - it is a good way of getting individual figures but they have the advantage of being a unit too.

I could be tempted by something similar for Napoleonics. Or perhaps the 1, 2, 3 basing as per Pikeman's Lament, which would work with 10mm figures to give a very compact game.

Yes, ideal for a project that you don't want to paint several hundred figures for. Sharp Practice would be ideal, also Muskets and Tomahawks, Lion Rampant etc

I particularly like the way you have based the guns :)

As you say some blanks to fill the gaps and for casualties would add to the look :)

I'm still tempted by this period X_X
