Rumor has it that the Emperor of France is demanding equal time from the painting depot and that several regiments of line and light infantry may be on the way.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The 88th Foot (Connaught Rangers) Complete
The fine chaps at Whitehall have done a marvelous job with the mustering of forces for Arthur Wellesley's forces for the Iberian Peninsula with the arrival of the 88th Foot (Connaught Rangers) and the steady, but never a slave to fashion, LTG Thomas Picton.
Both officers are the same figure. To make them look different on the stand, I just positioned one facing to the right and gave him lighter hair.

Somehow they ended up with the colors of the 92nd Foot - Roman numbers were never my strong suit. I'll fix it later.
With the arrival of the latest troops, Wellelsey's force now has 10 Brigades of infantry, 6 independent units of light infantry, 2 brigades of light cavalry, 6 general officers and the army headquarters.

ReplyDeletepicton was an asshole he hated the connaught rangers called them irish footpads . to be fair he was disliked by most of the army.
