1813 Swedes -Westgotha Regiment second battalion done (Perry Miniatures)
Well, as threatened, another Swedish Army unit for the 1813 campaign. The first battalion are Minifig 25's painted back in the 1980's, and have been shown in the Swedish Army page. Here they are once more, with a better printed standard.
Steady boys, 24 veterans of many tabletop battles. Used in three different rules sets. Blah, blah, blah.
The second battalion, 18 strong, Perry Min's. Brand new painted, untested in battle.
No standard, modeled the unit in firing line.
This was my first attempt at using a 'contrast' paint, a white for the coats. Can't say I am overwhelmed by the results. Still, the two units look vaguely familiar to each other.
Two other regiments each need a battalion to finish the brigade. Just a matter of scheduling them. Thanks for looking.
Comments
Thanks for the comments re the use of contrast paint. Reminds me nothing is a panacea.
I should do a few battles with all the 2021 troops at the least, just to shake out the 'new unit' debacles.
