I decided to add two naval units – an infantry unit and an artillery unit – to my army of the Commonwealth of Britannia. I found some suitable pre-painted Essex Miniatures figures on sale on eBay, bought them, and they have now been delivered.
A Royal Navy sailor equipped for service ashore as part of a Naval Brigade.
I will be varnishing and basing them as soon as I can, and this will enable me to field a small Naval Brigade that consists of a unit of Marine Infantry, a unit of Naval Infantry, and a unit of Naval Field Artillery.

BOB,
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent news- nothing like having a Naval Brigade for your Britannia army. The sailors will go well with your 6" long Gunboats. Best Wishes. KEV.

DeleteI have enough figures to create several other naval infantry units so it might be possible to add similar units to my other armies.
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
DeleteI'd be inclined to finish the Navy figures for Britannia before moving along to do other navy figures for other armies. How is your mobility going? - have you graduated to using a walking stick when out and about? Best Wishes. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteI certainly won’t be doing work on any of the other armies (or navies) until these figures are finished. As to my mobility … well, I’m getting about outdoors with two walking sticks and one when indoors.
All the best,
Bob
A Naval Brigade is always a fine addition to an Army - great to find figures that are already painted too!
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteA Naval Brigade will certainly enhance the capabilities of my Britannic armed forces … and they also look nice!
The figure were bought from Hinds Figures eBay shop. I’ve never used them before, but I certainly will do again if the need arises.
All the best,
Bob
I'm looking forward to seeing them, on parade and in action. Amphibious operation games aren't something one often sees.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteHopefully you won’t have to wait too long to see them.
I’ve fought quite a few wargamers that involved amphibious operations and I’ve enjoyed all of them.
All the best,
Bob
No coast will be safe once the varnish has dried, I bet.
ReplyDeletePancerni,
DeleteVery true … but first I need to build some suitable ships to carry them.
All the best,
Bob
