Some more unsavory characters to make life miserable for the French - this time by Eagle figures.
These figures are notably more slender and a bit slimmer than the (Eagle Figures) Militia of Coruna seen previously.
OPne suspects these were earlier sculpts by a different sculptor than the more recent figures.
They certainly fit the bill regardless.
A second set of six - the figure in the Bicorne is a Brigade games figure; the difference in height and stockiness is apparent.
"Death to the French!"
I tried to suggest an embroidered yoke on the black apron of the angry señora.
Once again, it would seem that many of these figures could just as well be used as pirates.
Either way they can expect no quarter if they are captured!
DIversified and beautiful set of figures, Muy buen amigo!
ReplyDeleteGracias, Phil! I am afraid that Frenchmen of the day would have felt far less charitable towards these characters!
Deletevery nicely done, i like slimmer figures
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. I would imagine the Guerrillas wouldn't be particularly well fed in any event!
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteYou have the lead again..... guerillas painted for your Spanish army to date. My Spanish sorely lacking the fun of dagger and questionable weapon armed exit civilians so far. Nice job and your painting has the proper feel for these ruffians.

Thanks, Michael. I have the perfect excuse to use them (and the Gendarmes) for the Campaign in a Day events. I really enjoyed your recent Spanish vs. Portuguese AAR from the War of the Oranges!
DeleteI like these quite a bit, actually. The slender figures always appeal to this less-than-slender gamer.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty much the same height as the Brigade games figures, and Old Glory as well.
DeleteAnother fine addition to the group. Is that the full complement of guerrillas now complete?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence. Yes, that's 12 stands of 2 figures each plus a Leader. Should be enough for anything I can imagine running.
DeleteLovely looking patriots/bandits,slim or chunky they look great!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
