North Albion troops on parade

Finally finished my 54mm North Albion troops yesterday with a coating of pva to add shininess. They have been worked with on and off for ages. All have been given new paint jobs ( apart from three pipers etc) and quite a few required new rifles, legs and bases etc. They have come up well. Any suggestions for their deployment most welcome...

  4. Nicely done!

    Some Blue opponents perhaps? or perhaps Red troops with trousers?

  6. Wonderful looking troops! The matchstick repair is quite ingenious.

  7. Well surely the Devils in Skirts have got to challenge the Bhurpas on the North West Frontier?

    1. Well, hard to argue with such an august source of military history.

  8. Wonderfully shiny. The matchstick legs work very well and the dismounted troopers with rifle arm. As a child I wished these Herald figures had these instead of swords flags and trumpets.

    1. Thanks. I never really liked the flags or trumpets either. I was rather chuffed with the matchsticks. I often use them in conjunction with masking tape but felt there was really no need in this case.
