The Guards have advanced!

Despite having to be in Derbyshire for two days last week, as well as having a game in GHQ on Thursday, I have somehow contrived to complete eight figures for the second of three bases which will represent the Coldstream Guards. There are seven Guardsmen and a Sergeant this time ~

That leaves the final base to complete the unit, of which four are now finished and the remaining five figures are underway which suggests I'd hope to complete the base by the end of the week. As ever the 3mm bases are from Warbases and the texture is my in-house mix of Woodlands Scenics Buff Ballast with additional Rocks from the same range. The static grass is the mix I use of Spring and Summer grasses from Jarvis I think, via Phil, with larger clumps from Gamers' Grass Tufts, via Great Escape Games and Arcane.

Alongside the Coldstream Guards figures I've been working on some sample figures: a Roosian infantry figure, mainly to test out the greatcoat colour; a mounted Roosian infantry officer, alternate greatcoat colour and cap; and lastly, an officer for the 79th Highland regiment, mainly for a kilt method. I'll pop these into the next blog entry as the mounted chap is not quite finished yet.
