Here are a couple more pics of my 40mm 1880s British - very Wellian . The not quite finishes officer in foreign service helmet is the first in that headgear and well you just have to have some Guardsmen don't you? After all look at all those little margin drawing in Little Wars.
Teh ECW Parliamentarian General represents Sir William Balfour and will - along with his Cuirassier troops be added to the Roundhead army after ernest entreaties by their Commanders after the Battle of Theakstons Folly. He's an Old Glory Cromwell figure - baton removed and Sword added but put upon a JACDAW horse. The rest of his troops will also be on jacdaw horses. I don't do this kind of stuff very often as it doesn't always work but in this case the figures fit the horses well and don't fail stylistically as both have movement. As I'm rather pleased wit him he's at the top of the post.

I do like the guardsmen. They have that casual jaunty look of those saucy line drawings.
ReplyDeleteLike the ECW officer,

Alan thanks Like you I'm a bit of an ECW fan - both 28 and 40mm- though the 40mm tend to be more TYW. I want to do forces for the Dunes campaign in 40mm .
ReplyDeleteRoss Thanks- not happy with the basing though- since I took that I've changed it. More pics after Salute- more attention to blogging too.
