As if I haven't got enough to paint already??
Me and Lee are planning to use Sharpe Practice for our Retreat from Moscow shenanigans
We spoke about the Deployment Markers used in the rules, I had a few spare figures and said about using some of those instead of a counter as per the rules?
Lets just say I got a tad carried away and only used 2 of the spares I had and bought another 2 packs of Perry's to make them both.......
The standard bearer is one of the spares, he's from the plastic Guard figures from Victrix.
I must say, I'm pleased with how they both came out.
Lee hasn't posted any photo's on his blog of the 2 stands he made, he posted a video on You Tube BELOW, instead. Its only after I finished mine when I looked back to Lee's and realised he only painted 3 figures per base, Damn!!!!
I've gone for the full effect....5 figures per base!!!
We both bought our flags from Andy at Grubby Tanks
The spare I had for this base, is once again the standard bearer, but this time he's a Front Rank figure.
The figures are a mix of Perry's from packs, FN51 Support Staff and FN53 Hangers On High Ranking Officers, while the bases are from Warbases.
Which way, should we go?
Unfortunately most figures on the bases have no thick coats of scarves to keep them warm, but hey, they're the best of the best in French elitism, they're making the decisions, so they don't need to keep warm??? Do they??
So what are they Deployment Markers or Command Stands?
Brilliant work Ray such lovely figures, I recognise most of those Perry figures 👍
ReplyDeleteRay, beautiful work, each a mini diorama colorful addition.
ReplyDeleteNice idea using up your spare figures Ray ..... oh, wait! They look great and to answer the final question - they can be either, depending on what you want to use them for!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Some serious conversations going on in those groups.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Ray
ReplyDeleteExcellent figures, lovely work, their hangers on are temporarily holding their coats for them no doubt, I'd say their both deployment markers or command stands depending on your whim!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Outstanding command vignettes, Ray! This is a lot of command for a skirmish game. Actually, with as many units as you two have painted, you will be fighting division-sized actions soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Ray whatever you use them as!
ReplyDeleteFIVE figures per base... I guess it takes more French officers to make a decision.
ReplyDeleteThose are some lovely command bases Ray!
ReplyDeleteGreat-looking vignettes Ray. They don't need scarves as presumably someone has built them a nice fire nearby.
