Lord Lucan and ADC

Though I have yet to rebase any of the British and Roosian cavalry from the Prodigal Foundry Collection I have completed a Command stand for the British cavalry in the collection. The figures are from Great War Miniatures of course, being Lord Lucan and a figure I have preferred for my ADC figures on Command stands, even though it's listed as General Cathcart ~

Four views of the Command stand so noone is fooled into thinking I'm anything more than a journeyman painter. At game distance in the heat of battle this will do the job for me. Next up on the 'filler-figure front' of the painting schedule is a mounted Highland officer. Mind you, all hobby progress has been somewhat disrupted by recent illness. Hopefully I'm on the mend now, I even painted for a short while this morning.

    1. I enjoy painting still but the figures don't warrant too close an examination nowadays.

  5. They work well David…
    I may have to borrow that idea for one of my own command units…

    All the best. Aly

    1. Thanks Matt, on both counts! I've been surprised by how lethargic I've felt despite symptoms easing gradually. Hardly managed any hobby stuff beyond posting. Even cancelled two games!

  8. Don't sell yourself short with your painting Dave! The quality far surpasses a great deal of stuff you see out there... gaming distance or not! And the superb basing provides the icing on the cake! Well done sir! 😉
