WIP 40mm Triguard Miniatures: 25th Foot , Minden 1759

[MarquisMini]

Hello folks,
I have received 4 figures from Triguard Miniatures ( NZ).
These figures will be part of a small vignette portrying a scene from the battle of Minden, August 1759 in which British forces along with allies won a great victory over the French inflicting heavy loss on the enemy cavalry.
This regiment will be the 25th foot who fought bravely against the French cavalry, on the other side i will have 3 mounted Cuirassiers du Roi that i have previously posted several months ago and still on the work bench for finishing touch ups.
Cheers

I had few hours to work on these chaps.
I have layed the red base color using citadel Mephiston red with a few drops of the new contrast Blood Angels red.
As for the yellow i've used citadel sumerland yellow with a dab of vallejo flat brown.
As for the lace , used vallejo silver grey piped in red as for the reference.

Thanks my friend, and yes, this regiment was raised in Edinburgh around mid 1600's, hence the claymore.
I will have to try to reproduce that, not sure if that claymore was used only by grenadiers and regular brass hilt sword for fusiliers, i will need some research on that.
