New recruits

 Picked these up recently for less than a pound a figure. They come with their factory paint job which will do for me very nicely. The top row might serve for 1838 but I am not certain. Any suggestions where to deploy them most welcome. The middle row( with another figure I have already) will make a unit for 1838 along with the Dorset 1830 marines I ordered making another. The bottom row will be added to my Albion  army of the late nineteenth century.

P.S I haven’t forgotten about the Borsetshire Manoeuvres but have not had the opportunity to game them yet. The Guards and their opponents have waited patiently in camp but the day is near…

  1. Well, you seem quite set on The Patriote War... Have you had a chance to read Graves' book yet? I expect the opposing forces will be arriving...shortly.

    1. Was away at the weekend so had no time. I have read some of the book and found it fascinating. I need to have a good think about the opposition…

  2. Very nice. The Gordon's (for I am sure Tis them in the second row) look very like miniature versions of the larger than life "kiltie" up at Edinburgh castle!

  5. Good buy. Follows both my preferred criteria - cheap and potentially useful!
