1st Devonshire Regiment (again)

I’ve just completed this unit of Jacklex British infantry which has prompted me to carry out a small reorganisation of the British forces. This unit will now be designated as the 1st Devonshire Regiment and my previous unit to carry this name (click here) has been promoted to the Guards.

It seemed like a good idea to use my two Raventhorpe units as Guards because the figures are slightly bigger and chunkier than Jacklex figures.

The Battle of Belmont will be along shortly.

  2. Lovely looking toys Ian…
    I do like Jacklex Miniatures… they have just the right toy look.

    All the best. Aly

    1. Jacklex have grown on me during this project and it certainly would not have been possible to it in 20mm metal without them.

  5. Up the Devons!
    No doubt the Boers will get a shooting bonus aginst the Guards owing to their impressive stature?

    1. I guess so but it would be offset by the number of bullets bouncing off their stiff uppers!
