E.I.C. artillery command vignette

 Making use of the second 'spare' gunner and one of the mounted colonels I've created a small vignette style base to represent the command element for the E.I.C. foot artillery battery ~


These small vignette style bases help, I think anyway, to make the game more attractive to the eye even if they have no direct purpose in the rules. Whatever, they have used up two less interesting or less active figures from the artillery pack. Once I finish the 4 representative Grenadiers for the 3rd Pendawar Native Infantry I can get the two guns and crew finished. Beyond these I shall see where my fancy takes me next.

  1. Another very nice command stand/vignette David, with the white hat and clothes making them stand out somewhat from the rank-and-file IMHO:)

    1. Can't believe you missed these for your Caribbean project Ray; they're Perry Miniatures figures from the British Napoleonic range fighting the French in Egypt.
