A Hanoverian Infantry Brigade Command Stand

A small blog entry, in scale with the subject you might say. Like most wargamers I'd suspect, within my Lead Pimple I often have small numbers of figures surplus to requirements after building up units. As I abore waste of any description I try to use these up whenever I get the chance, often in small vignettes or in additions to the main figures on a Command stand. In this instance I found a Foundry British officer and sergeant which I've combined in a suitable pose to make an infantry command stand for the Hanoverians ~

 Now, there are several small issues marking these out as proxy figures rather than pukka Hanoverians: no pom-poms on the tricorns; nor oak leaves behind the cockade; lace where there should be none on the sergeant figure; and so on. But remember, these are figures in a game which will be seen from gaming distance so I can live with that. Just as I can with the fact that they are big chaps next to the Front Rank souls they will command.

Meanwhile the first of the Hanoverian cavalry are well underway, the Leib Regiment as it happens, more on those as and when though... Sadly no game this week as Phil has succumbed to the same virus it seems. So, it's back to the brushes then in Billy No Mates mode...
