1798 Rebellion Project Part 7: The Last of the North Corks

I finished off the last group of Militia this weekend, along with a Leader. It's nice to have them done, because I'm using some more unusual models to represent the other troops in the army. It's not historically accurate, but this is Sharp Practice - the "historical drama" version of the past! 

Here they are:

 
There's always one spot of gloss varnish that shines through the matt! 


A very imperious British officer 

Here's a group photo of the whole lot :


This is the list from the Sharp Practice 1798 Supplement that I'm using for the British. I'm going to use Yeomen for the Militia under the Status II Leader, just to add some variation. All that's left to do for this list is another group of Yeos and a Status III Leader. Of course, being a wargamer, I have a few more units in the lead mountain too! I have a group of Militia Grenadiers on the desk at the moment, for example. 

This is the rebel list. I have completed three and a half groups of "Pikes and Assorted Firearms", one group of Scouts and a Status II Leader. That leaves two and a half groups of foot and three leaders. So there isn't too much more to do! 

The supplement also includes this list, which is very attractive! It could easily be used in conjunction with my naval project for the rebellion. The TooFatLardies Christmas Special 2014 features 1798 Rebellion scenarios for both Kiss Me Hardy and Sharp Practice. I'd love to link them together in a campaign! 

Go dtí an chéad uair eile, beir bua!
