The growing Hanoverian contingent for the SYW expansion project will need its own commander. Looking around in the Lead Pimple I have found a suitable mounted figure. He is a Front Rank figure of the Marquis of Granby but I think he bears more than a passing resemblance to August Friedrich von Spörcken, a distinguished and long serving General officer in the Hanoverian army throughout the SYW period.
Any General worth his salt deserves to be accompanied by his entourage. In this case two spare Foundry British officers, now pressed into service in the Hanoverian army. For now though its on to my third Hanoverian infantry regiment. Once they are completed only the Cavalry element using Foundry figures remains and this part of the planned SYW expansion project is done.
Once again nice work David.
ReplyDeleteOnce more, thank you George.
DeleteA fine looking fellow nicely done, together with his entourage it makes a splendid addition to the expansion.
ReplyDeleteHe will do then I assume?
DeleteA fine addition to command those Hanoverians David. Let's hope he lives up to his historical counterpart...

ReplyDeleteI was. Most of these last three posts of stuff was finished over last weekend. Since then I managed to contract a chest infection, so not much done since.🤒
DeleteNicely done,,,the contingent will look good with additions like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope to add further vignette style bases in due course.
ReplyDeleteA very nice command base there... looking splended indeed! will the command rolls live up to it wonder...
ReplyDeleteAs I'm generally the French I can't honestly say I'm all that bothered.
DeleteAnother lovely addition to your project David…
ReplyDeleteHe’s not a bad likeness…
