Painting my first Battalion/Brigade

I stuffed up my order at Eureka Miniatures- I should get all the same pose for each brigade. So I don't have a full division yet.

I do have enough for 4 stands of 6, one Brigade. So I'm painting my first one as the 1st and 2nd/9th, 1st and 2nd/21st Portuguese Line Regiments and batteries of Von Arentschild. 4 stands of infantry and I'll do the artillery later.


Undercoated with Citadel White from a spray can.
Face and hands with Bugmans Glow.
Pants and jacket with Macagree Blue.

Portuguese Uniform for the 21st Infantry Regiment

I found this on Pinterest and it seems accurate enough for a painting guide for my 1st brigade to paint.

Pretty easy to paint too!
