After an Undercoat of Army Painter White the Minis were based on 25mm Bases from Rubicon.

These Minis are from Empress Miniatures. I Picked them up Years Ago to Base Two Men Together for Napoleon at War Hence the Repeated Poses.

Twenty of the Empress Miniatures Riflemen

Perry Miniatures Riflemen. I'll be Painting these up as Chosen Men.

These Miniatures will be Made into a Jump Off Point since I have Duplicates.

The Next Step will be to Basecoat the Miniatures with Army Painter’s “Angel Green”.

I thought that black boots and red jackets, plus equipment and flesh and details, would deliver a decent result.

I look forward to following this project’s progress. 😀

I always go over the White again anyway so it’s not about saving time for me. Black is just too dark for me. Too much detail gets lost and forgotten simply because I don’t see it during… Read more »
