British / Canadian Units

     Here are some pics of the various BNA units that I will be using.  Some are missing, such as the British Regulars, Dragoons, R.A. batteries, and Rockets, as I have not painted them up yet.

     The units that I am not very pleased with, are my Voltigeurs.  Until I find something more appropriate, they will have to do.  I used Austrian infantry, from the Seven Years War I think, and chopped off the tops of their hats, to kind of mimic the bearskin hats that the Canadian Voltigeurs wore.  I am including an historical picture, so you can compare my figures with "the real thing".
What Voltigeurs are supposed to look like

     I really like the look of the Six Nations Warriors.  I have a bunch left over, so hopefully will be able to add more of these Irregular units to my BNA army.

     Now for the rest of the ones I have.  Just a couple of comments about Les Compagnie des Guides.  I could not find a picture of them, and should have probably used a more "militia' looking figure, but wanted to use up some figures I already had (they are AWI British cavalry), and with the small base size I use, could not really stagger two on a base to represent that they are Irregular cavalry, so I just put one figure per base, and hoped this would indicate their less than effective combat ability, than a Regular cavalry unit.
