Forming figures in a firing pose with muskets and bayonets is a bit of a jigsaw. As a result these guys will probably send most of the time in line.
The nco is a an old Rose miniatures figure and fits in nicely. The standard bearer is a Douglas figure with cast on flag
So what next.
I think I may have enough units painted for a small game.

Line is best for shooting down those damned Frenchies. Super unit, what's next?
Very handsome figures!

I am sure you've hit upon the origin of the British Army using line instead of column in the period. Lovely old school feel to these and beautifully painted.
Cheers, Peter
Very nice sir...
Very Shooty...
I have to say it is a very unusual position... you have certainly got the best out of them...
Looking forward to seeing your game.
All the best. Aly
takes me back.....
These have got to be one of the best retro regiments ever, Mark. They're quirky, colourful and in every respect just stunning.
Yours, in awe

Hi Rob
I think some cavalry types are needed next or perhaps some Old Guard or British RHA or ....
Thanks Stokes. Prussians on Stovepipes are rather fetching.
The British have always be fond of forming an orderly line when queuing. A column is just not British.
Hi Aly
It was the uniqueness of the pose that was like a siren calling me paint them.
Hi Colin
Back to the future for me.
Colourful and quirky is all well good. But can they fight.
