The final British unit rolls off the painting desk to complete the army.
British Rifles regiment

A mixture of contrast and normal acrylic paints.
Now only a few issues have arisen for my Napoleonic armies.
1) When searching for what flag the Rifles had I discovered they didn't have one as being light infantry it would get in the way. So what to do with this figure and also with the flags in the other light infantry units....
2) The rules I am going to use are Neil Thomas' Napoleonic Wargaming and this requires line units with 4 bases and light with 2 bases. My armies are in units of 6 line and 3 light bases. So lesson learned, choose the rules before buying and painting 😂. So do I buy some more command units or ignore it and just only field the required bases? I think I will just ignore it and see if the current figure count can cover the table I have, if so, no more purchases, if I can squeeze extra in some more painting will be required.
Anyway, I am happy the project is completed and will do an army parade next.
