A trio of Cavalry leaders, painted from the left over figures from the expansion of the Garrochistas and Cavaleria de Linea.
I used a left over Old Glory Sword arm to harvest a sword for señor Garrochita.
The Dragoon leader has the green facings of the Villaviciosa regiment.
The remaining figure is in a fairly generic Spanish general officer uniform; dark blue coat with red facings piped gold, red breeches.
With a fairly small Brigade Games order for just the three sets of 3 cavalry each, I threw in their newly released "French Intelligence Officer", who comes as a set - foot and mounted versions.
The figure is clearly intended to represent Major Pierre Ducos of the Sharpe Television series... famous glasses and all
I figured he'd do nicely as a commander for the foot Gendarmes.
A short clip from "Sharpe's Enemy, featuring Major Ducos, said to be a protege of Fouche.
I see you wanted the French spy figure, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't everyone, mon ami?
DeleteNearing the end, I bet!
ReplyDelete2 battalions more almost done, more generals, and maybe a few Romans before Historicon!
DeleteNice cavalry and a fun spy!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks as always, iain!
DeleteColorful and beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteExcellent work, love the colors! Ducos is a dead ringer as that was my first thought when I saw your pic. A fairly interesting piece and a sure addition to someone's game of "Sharpe Practice"
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jake. Yes, he'd definately fit in with that, and for now, leading those Gendarmes!
DeleteVery impressive and inspiring as I am just now revisiting the Peninsula.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dean. Inspiration is good.
DeleteA Talavera playtest is on the table for tomorrow AM!
More impressive additions. I particularly like the mounted Ducos figure. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHank you, Lawrence! I chose to paint him a bit more colorfully than in the TV series!
