Silver Bayonet
Rifleman.
Perry Rifleman with Victrix French pack and GW head.
I do have a name for him, but I have misplaced my sheet. Backstory pending.The green of the uniform is Dark Angel Contrast Paint and the Black is Black Templar Contrast Paint. The pack is Snakebite Leather Contrast and a mix of Grey Seer and Templar Contrast for the bed roll / blanket. The white is Army Painter Matt White. The bandana is Mephiston Red.
The British, or at least some of them (according to Bernard Cornwell in his Sharpe series) liked a French pack compared to a standard British one. So I figured that if this is a veteran of supernatural fighting, that he would also be a veteran of the wars in the peninsula and have the same preference. And it just looks a touch more interesting. There’s evidence of recruitment incentives to join riflemen regiments of there being less “clay piping”, (the white straps were a pain to keep white and this was the term for that maintenance of the straps) so him choosing to have more white straps might not marry with most riflemen’s preferences, but I think it looks OK.
The head does look big, but it’s a characterful face and he stands out with his big red head and I won’t mistake him or his stats for another mini.
