Black Powder Crimean War British Rifle Brigade in forage caps
Black Powder Crimean War British Rifle Brigade in Forage Caps
Product Info
Black Powder Crimean War British Rifle Brigade in Forage Caps is a plastic infantry set for the Black Powder historical tabletop wargame, representing Britain’s elite Rifle Brigade during the Crimean War. Produced by Warlord Games, this kit provides light infantry troops designed for skirmishing, screening, and flexible battlefield roles within British Crimean War armies.
Background
The Rifle Brigade operated as specialist light infantry, trained to fight in open order, make use of terrain, and engage the enemy ahead of the main battle line. During the Crimean War, these troops were frequently deployed in demanding conditions where practicality mattered more than parade-ground appearance. The forage cap became a common item of dress on campaign, reflecting their adaptable, field-focused role.
What’s Included
This set includes multiple plastic British Rifle Brigade infantry miniatures wearing forage caps, supplied with appropriate bases. The kit includes pose and equipment options suitable for forming complete Rifle Brigade units for Black Powder games.
About the Model / Components
Miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted in plastic, allowing full customization. Models are scaled for 28mm historical wargaming and are fully compatible with Black Powder and other mid-19th-century tabletop systems. Assembly and painting are required, and standard hobby tools and plastic glue are recommended.
Why This Product Is a Great Choice
This infantry set is an excellent choice for players building historically accurate British Crimean War forces who want flexible, visually distinctive light infantry. It adds tactical variety, authentic appearance, and strong thematic flavour to Black Powder armies, working equally well in skirmishing roles or as part of larger formations.
