The Command
Its taken me an age to get them based up and photographed, so I can only apologise to Loki, for not showing them off any sooner. (I did get a telling off, when we met up at Salute, in April!)
So here they are in all their glory, The Tangier regt, later known as The Queen's regt or by their nickname, Kirke's Lamb's.
The figures are all from Barry Hilton's fantastic, Warfare Miniatures.
Grenadiers
Sergeants
Pikemen
Musketeers
The Tangier Horse
For the Tangier Horse, I chose to have them painted up, in their later uniform, as they would have appeared at the Battle of Sedgemoor, mainly because I couldn't find out what uniform they did actually wear, (possibly grey?) at the time and also so they can be used for the later wars as well.
Here's their lineage for my Donnybrook period.

Brilliant mini's Ray. Am I correct in thinking they are slighter in stature then your regular figures? I would surely like a picture of them alongside one of your earlier regiments as comparison. Anyway they still look like an ace unit!
ReplyDeleteThey're round about the same size as Foundry minis. I'll get a comparrison pic for you Sander.
DeleteGreat looking collection
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve.
