Napoleonic Portuguese Infantry rebased

My Protuguese infantry brigade have now been rebased, it comprises the 5th Cacadores and the 11th and 14th line infantry regiments each of 2 battalions.

Almoravid Spearmen

I've added an extra three units to my Saracen army, but as I have more than enough for normal games so I painted them more similar to the Almoravids who fought in Spain.

On the workbench - May 2025

Well April has just flown by and now I have chance to catch up again so I'll be working on

• Reworking my Napoleonic British commanders - partly using my new acquisitions
• Rebasing my Napoleonic Portuguese infantry - I've just started these
• Rebasing my Napoleonic Brunswick infantry
• Finish more Saracen infantry - these have slowly been painted over the last 6 weeks are are approaching completion
• Rework my old WW2 Russian winter infantry
• Maybe start painting some of the 3D models I have printed

Latest Acquisitions

It's has been a while since I bought anything, mainly because Strelets is still unable to produce anything at the moment. But I combined an order with my friend Andy for some bits to fill gaps in my collection.

My plans for these are:-

• Waterloo line officers - upgrading my British staff
• Waterloo Prussian staff - ditto for my Prussians at some point in the future
• Waterloo British Paratroops with pack guns - I realised I was a bit short on gun crews
• Mars US Paratroops (Part 2) - half pack - some odd additions
• Mars British Paratroops - half pack - again odd additions but I like the 2" mortar
• Mars German Winter Artillery Crew - half pack - some nice crews, I not sure I'll use the 105mm RRs
• Mars German Tropical Paratroops Heavy Weapons - half pack - I will be using these 105mm RRs
• Mars German Tropical Paratroops -all for Andy

Napoleonic British Line Infantry - Reworked

Like the British Guards there were a few old Airfix figures in the units and these were replaced by figures from the HaT command set. I also replace a few more so that with the left over figures from the Guards and KGL I could create another battalion, the one at the front.

Napoleonic British Highlanders - Rebased

Next after the Guards is the Highland regiments, these just needed rebasing. They are all Springwood except for the Airfix standard bearers and Italeri bagpipers.

Napoleonic British Guards - Reworked

After the big game I took a couple of weeks holiday and also visited family, but once I was back it was on with reworking and rebasing my British Napoleonic infantry. The Guards were in need of some TLC as they still had Airfix drummers and a standard bearer. I replaced these and a few other Springwood figures with some HaT command figures, which are better proportioned compared to my Springwoods.
