Handy painting guide from Perry miniaturesI got my last box of minies for the Bunker Hill battle. I went for a perry miniatures plastic kit which is my favourite range for the period. I have one large unit of Marines to put together and the rest are used to complete a small Light Infantry unit. Nice break from the terrain building and I have a quick system for re cats now so hope to have them done by the end of the week.

I love the attention to detail in the research, @denzien . I’ll be honest, I kept mine “regiment generic” because (1) working with 20mm, (2) I’m lazy, (3) I wanted to be “able” to use the figures in battles across the war.
I know the differences between British line, light, and grenadier companies – what differences / characteristics have you noticed with Royal Marines? Generally “light infantry” in equipment and game stats? I know the uniforms and equipment will be quite different. Do they carry the “naval pattern” of the Brown Bess?
Some good questions there. As far as I can tell they were equipped the same as the infantry at this point.They didn’t get the Royal status until the 19th century after staying loyal and helping to put down mutinies on ships back at home. Marines were very loyal to their ships so had a discipline that sometimes above and beyond normal infantry. other The only difference in uniform was the white facings all marines had.Marine Major Pitcairn was mortally wounded at Breeds Hill and was the senior officer at Lexington and asked the rebels to disperse. That went well.
