No, I don't mean Australians, but new miners added to my SYW forces. There is little information on the few forces that had a standing force, as opposed to drafting men from the ranks of an infantry battalion, so I made them pretty generic. With the up-surge in interest in these parts and campaign potential they could serve many masters.
London War Room figures produced now by RSM, I picked these up at this years Seven Years War Association Convention in South Bend on a whim. Finally painting up the dribbles and drabs of this and that. Click on the pictures to big up. Camera has been a bit wonky lately, so not the best images.
Mud-splattered and with dirty faces they are ready to repel a sortie with a brace of pistols, sabre and even the shovel. If needed they would do a good job of supporting or supplementing the Memel Pioneers of Litharus.
Next up on the paint sticks: Prussian artillerists and two light guns, French dragoons and finishing the Royal Ecossais battalion. Then... who knows?
