More British....but German?

 Another two units march off the painting desk as my painting momentum continues.

First up: 5th Battalion of the King's German Legion

5th KGL marching out of the valley.

And marching back again.

Then the 8th Battalion of the King's German Legion.


8th KGL front view

and rear view.  I need to tidy up the flag.

A mixture of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

The last of the Line units completed.

3 units to go in 8 weeks! Actually about 70 figures to paint so it looks like I will be done well before Christmas....famous last words 

List of figures and units.  All Pendraken figures, as are the flags.

    Ben, you have certainly picked up speed. Is it the deadline or a familiarity with the figures that is behind this (perhaps both). Very pleasing to see the light at the end of the tunnel so bright now :-)

      Thanks Norm. I think both, certainly the uniformity (😁) of the British helps.
      The light at the end of the tunnel is probably a need to get a game in! I think I will test the rules with a small game after a few other things are wrapped up.
