Napoleonic's: Spanish Guerrilla

Adding to my growing Peninsular campaign forces this week are some Spanish Guerrilla's. As with the other models these are from the Perry range but this time in metal.
Being irregular troops I've gone for a mixed approach on their clothes with no effort made to make them uniform, this has been a nice release after the previous British uniforms and hopefully will help cleanse my painting spirits before I start on the British centre companies foot.

I've got eight more Guerrilla's and an officer to paint up so in theory could form 4 units of them but it seems more likely they will be fielded in units of 8.

Strictly speaking the British shouldn't be able to field this unit in Shakos & Bayonets but as it's a skirmish game it feels appropriate that the British would be working with local Spanish Guerrilla's. It also gives the British an extra troop type (Irregular) that they can then gain activation cards for which should help balance out the foot Dragoons on the French side.

As you'd expect unit starts off as a pretty basic skirmishing style unit but you can buff them up to be decent troops at an extra 12 points a unit, another good reason to take larger units.

As I plan to do all the leaders at the end before I start on the cavalry I have another eight of these chaps to paint and then onto the British centre company infantry.
