Front Rank Spanish – Catalonian Light Infantry

Tags:
After playing a few games of Black Powder with units in big battalions, I decided that I need a few more Spanish Light Infantry if I was to fight on even terms with the French. So over the last three weeks I have managed to recruit and paint six more figures to go with the eight I already had. They figures come from the great Front Rank Spanish range and have been painted up as the 2nd Catalonian Light Infantry Battalion for 1808-10…love these figures. The basing is a little different from the old ones as Leroy Simpson had based those. The painting has however improved a little from when I did the originals back in 2005.

The old command stand

And the new command stand

Both officers from this range I think are fantastic figures.

    Great looking figures – what color green did you use? have you any Spanish guerillas done by chance? Got some Old Glory figs that i can use for Spanish – Catalonian Light Infantry but they dont have the plume

    Thanks for the comments guys. I liked paintinhg these guys..lots of colour and character, plus the Front Rank figure is a joy to paint. The colour I used for the green was Goblin Green from the citadel/Games Workshop range.I have painted some of the guerillas as well but have based them as militia. There should be some images inm the Napoleonic labels of this blog.

    Thanks again

    Vinnie
