Another small group of Napoleonic civilians from Front Rank to add some additional colour to our Sharpe Practice games.
The first pair are Mistress Abigail and her maid, Lucy.
It was unintentional, but, he way I've positioned these with Lucy on the back edge of the base and not quite looking Mistress Abigail in the eye I think she may be getting a dressing down. She also seems to have quite a confrontational stand.
Maybe Lucy spent too long looking at Jack vigorously operating the village pump and spoiled Mistress Abigail's view.
The second pairing are a couple of dapper gents taking a stroll.
Sir Sidney Rodwell and the Honourable James Lawton are enjoying the fresh air while discussing the latest news of the day, their East India Company returns, or next sporting venture.
Dressed in the latest fashions and sporting brass tipped canes they are just the right sort. Sir Sidney's red trews are the talk of the town.
The final pairing are Captain Alexander Fotheringhay and his wife Mary Fotheringhay taking a stroll.
Captain Alexander is on shore leave and is enjoying some time with his wife before his next posting where he will take command one of His Majesties third rates on the Brest blockade.
All the figures are based in pairs on the newly released Objective bases from Warbases, I think that as they are never going to be in units it works quite well.
Very fancy! Little vignettes like this really bring a table to life, I think

DeleteBrilliant! Will bring a real life vibe to the gaming table when used. I really must get back to the Landwehr however Fallschrimjagers seem to have jumped the line.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross
Thanks Ross, funny you should mention Landwehr, I have more Hanoverians on the painting table right now....
