Have occasionally acquired lead Highlander figures which seem somewhat larger in scale. Rather than just integrating them with the smaller castings, decided to increase a test-run three figure company to a full battalion. And this will be the home for any others that crop up.
White uniforms are recorded being used by Highland regiments on tropical service from 1850 to 1920. I think they make an interesting addition to the collection.

They look wonderful MGB.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sir. I've got several Highland units in red, I could not justify painting another, a white doublet battalion was the answer.

Excellent unit Michael! They look very smart indeed in their tropical kit! A nice change of pace and suitable for many different campaigns!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brad, I do agree with you concerning the range of campaigns. And I'm not too bothered about keeping its establishment either, any suitable figures will get drafted.

Smart as paint, Michael!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mark, I think they will prove useful in skirmish games.
