Here is the final (ye right!) unit to finish off the émigré brigade fighting in Flanders cir 1793, in this case the British 59th to give those royalists a bit of backbone. In truth many émigré units fought very well and the British were not yet the troops of the Peninsular campaign but I'll address those issues when they get onto the table.
Really enjoyed painting up these Emperors Toad figures Here, they have a large and expanding range and are well worth looking into if your getting into the period, do support them there nice guys.
With white facings I went with a white cover painted backpack and the 59 painted on, conjectural I know but who's to say really. If anyone knows different please let me know but I wont be changing them. No flank companies of course, the grenadiers were combined while the lights were sent to the West Indies to die of fever, very nice!

Your ‘whites’ are superbly executed.
ReplyDeleteSuperb looking regiment
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking regiment.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always lads, they were fun to paint. Not 100% sure about the colour of the backpacks, they could have been buff but no conclusive evidence either way.
ReplyDeleteDave.

Thanks so much for the comments lads, really appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteTheir flags shouldn't incorporate the Irish cross of St Patrick as they pre-date the Union (1801).
