There are 24 Eureka Miniatures in the unit I'm currently painting, the Voluntaires de Bykli. If you remember they were a gift from Aly Morrison at a seemingly distant Partizan. As it will be a while until they are completed I thought you might like a sneak preview of those I've completed to date ~
I continued with the light blue faced yellow scheme for them, which I'd previously used on Alphonse de Bykli and my French mercenary cavalry commander in Typoo Bhyka's army. The figures are mostly the ragged versions of Eureka's French Revolutionary infantry so I've tried to vary other colours on the figures where appropriate. When I've completed them I'll be sure to feature them in another blog post, only half way through for now though!
That will bring me to the last planned unit in my original purchases, being 9 Tribal Cavalry from Perry Miniatures' Victoria's Little Wars range. Once they are completed I will be due a rest from the sub continent and will be delving into the Lead Pimple for something different for a break!
Nice if even only half finished, I like the combination of the mounted officer something I have started to include as an option in some of my ACW units although I have made them optional👍
ReplyDeleteThe mounted officer made up the number so it saved two figures.
DeleteNice Eureka figures and an attractive colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteThank you rross, much appreciated.
DeleteThese chaps look lovely David…
ReplyDeleteIt’s a really attractive colour combination…
It does appear that Alphonse is too mean to buy fresh uniforms for his men…😁
All the best. Aly
Alphonse is as tight as a duck's derriere! Glad you like the effort though!
DeleteVery handsome color scheme!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan, much appreciated, though it's 'colour' this side of the pond😁
DeleteVery nice work once again David and always good to see the odd mounted command figures here and there:)
ReplyDeleteThanks SteveJ, though the mounted figure saved two foot figures.
DeleteA very picturesque unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteGreat combination of colours David, a veritable cornucopia of revolutionary goodness.
ReplyDeleteVery effusive Robbie, thanks!
DeleteLovely looking regiment David!

Well it may be when it's finished!
DeleteBeautiful miniatures and thoughtful brushwork has brought out this unit. Looking forward to seeing the remainder of the unit when completed. Aly is a lovely chap to pass these miniatures onto you.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Helen
He is indeed a good chap.
