Not wishing to hex myself you understand, but I seem to be fairly well blessed with hobby mojo at present. Having recently completed the 7th, the Royal Fusiliers, I jumped immediately into another British infantry regiment, the 90th, the Perthshire Volunteers. The Great War Miniatures figures are from a mixture of five packs: British infantry firing line in shako; ditto in field cap; casualties; command in field caps; and finally, light infantry command. As you might guess from that they are largely composed of left overs!
As usual their bases are from Warbases and the flags from the North Star range. A bit of a story here as I found I didn't have the correct flag sheet for them and added it to last month's order. Arriving quickly, as North Star orders usually do, I found the wrong flag sheet included. A quick phone call and the correct sheet arrived in two days! Pretty good service that and typical of them I've found. Anyway, here are the pictures of the individual bases making up the regiment. I hope my meagre efforts will pass muster!
As with other firing line units they have fewer figures than usual, only 18 in their case. Of course this is unimportant as the old fashioned figures to men ratio has long since been consigned to history here in GHQ in favour of standard base sizes. It does mean however that the unit is rather quicker to complete! An important factor in maintaining painter morale!! Finally as you know I'm not much of a modeller, but can you spot the conversion in this last photo?
Next under the brush is another small fripary followed by another British infantry regiment, the 97th, the Earl of Ulster's regiment.
If all goes well there are two games scheduled here in GHQ In quick succession: firstly an AWI bash with Herculé Robinson and then an ACW game with Paul later in the week. More on those in due course...
