Rebels & Patriots - Markers and British Light Infantry

The first off the painting table for 2025...

The British Light Infantry make an appearance.

Have decided on 4 figures to a base for line Infantry I needed something a little different for the lights to keep the uniformity of units on the table. Using Pill bases for skirmish troops, I opted for the square bases but dropped the figure count down to 3 and increased the bases to 4 for a unit to give coverage needed and slightly more spread out feel for skirmishers.

Not sure what's going on with the lighting, but the three extra units will be very useful for the march to Lexington in the coming months.

I do like the 10mm scale for the mass effect on the table, but on occasion my eye sight can let me down.... hidden amongst this little lot is a trumpeter who is facing backwards - how did I miss that when I stuck him on the base - I just will have to style it out :-)

I was toying with some additional disruption markers for the game, having picked up the Warbases tailored counters, they work fine for 28mm games but are a little overpowering in 10mm.

Chatting on the Facebook group about suitable alternatives cannonballs and flags were mentioned as disruption markers, these will be complimentary to the casualty markers and not be to over powering on the table.

The flags are from Maverick Models who do a great selection for the American Revolution across a range of scales, worth checking them out, ball bearings are from a Christmas cracker game which I had to break open.

 12 Markers should give me enough for a game.

These look a little better on the table and more subtle in games.

The units down in the first week and good progress on some of the other projects. Now to get these on the table top.
