So a day on and the Essex delivery has arrived. The Essex figure is the first one, he is a bit shorter with a bigger head, but that shouldn't matter once he's mixed in.
I think they work well together, it'll be nice to have a bit more variety on the bases with slightly different poses.
I also ordered a pack of the kneeing soldier too from Essex. This one works particularly well I think, especially with the loading figure from Irregular.
The main reason for ordering these extra Essex troops was the fact they have powder flasks around them (apostles). As I want to create Jacobite regiments with their slightly older equipment. I thought a few of these mixed in would fit the bill. Irregular don't seem to do the earlier period. At 15mm it doesn't really matter, as a lot of the detail will be lost in the smaller scale, so a nice mix of both should look good.
The two makes work even better from above which is how they will be seen most of the time.
