The sergeant figure was the solution I found that there was sufficient officer arms that with some careful arrangement I could create three standing colour bearers, who would look fine in with the vertical pikes. I just added a sash to each one.
Fiddling with the rest of the arms I had lying around I managed to create a few more variations. from L to R: basic figure; arms from free WI firelock; cavalryman sword arm; fifer and drummer and finally the three new colour bearers. The last of these is all I have to paint to complete my first foot regiment.

Great idea,I've got some of these in my "to do " pile so it's very interesting to see what you are doing with yours.
Thanks,
Paul.
What size regiments are you planning on, Will?

Jeff, the regiments will be the same as the packet, 40 figures, with two sleeves of 12 muskets and a 16 figure pike block.
I will gain a couple of figures per packet from the conversions, but I'll use the extra to create a forelorn hope.
