OK, as I write this I realize that I don't have many followers. I hope that as my army grows, so will my following. Anyway, for those who are interested and willing, I am looking for an opinion on colors for my ratlings. I am using the old metal ratlings who were wearing button up coats. Here is a picture of them. (not mine)
Should I paint them red to match the normal infantry, or with dark green which was the historical color of the Rifle Regiments during the Anglo-Zulu Wars?
My thoughts right now are red just to limit my color palette. I appreciate any input.

If you are still building your army my plan is to do green rifle regiment (like the 60th) for my ratlings uniforms, but I do love the guys photographed, they look great, I'm almost tempted to change my mind. I honestly don't think there is a wrong answer, either way will look great, just what you prefer is best.
ReplyDeleteI think Rifle Green would be a good change and easy differentiation. Not that it is hard to tell the difference between ratlings and regular guard...
ReplyDeleteI know this is an older post but these are outstanding! Absolutely love the fez. I've always been a fan of redcoat light infantry - perhaps giving one a light infantry bugle would be a nice touch?

@Kieran Thanks! I've since (slowly) continued to work on my Praetorians. I'm documenting them here: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?139629-Imperial-Guard-An-Edifying-Pictorial-of-Progress
ReplyDelete@Honey Beeginnings Great idea, using the Aeronefs as Vendettas! :)
