Completed two command bases. I obtained about 200 40mm diameter Poker chips/tokens from ASDA for £2, not a bad deal, although with three figures they look abit crowded. The first is Marshal Murat a figure by Fantassin with a AB ADC. I got Murat from a friend (thanks Paul!). I enjoyed painting him and I'm reasonably pleased with how he turned out but white uniforms certainly presents a challenge, so I think it will be a while before I start off an Austrian army. Murat is now ready to lead the light cavalry to glory! I may order some AB cuirassiers sometime in June to provide the heavies.
The second one is that of Marshal Grouchy with a hussar ADC and General. The uniform I chose for Grouchy is the one below. I used one of the AB generals but filed down his boots so it looks like he has shoes. Now I can use him for my 100 days campaign...can imagine him saying "do we march to the sound of the guns or what?!?"
Very Nice Ken,

Cheers Paul,
ReplyDeleteYep, I read somewhere that Napoleon nicknamed him after a famous clown (who also liked to dress up)
