Peninsular Warriors - Allied Staff Officers

There are just four staff officer figures available from Warrior. Of these only two are of use for the Peninsula War, as the first figure is a model of Napoleon and another is a Prussian general in Feldmutz type cap.

The remaining two are a Field Marshal and a Marshal, which are described as suitable for any army on the Warrior Miniatures website.  They are fairly generic and with the right paint job they do look OK. First off we have the 'Field Marshal' figure, which I have painted as my Spanish commander:

The second is the 'Marshal' figure, which I am using as my second British brigade commander (or Division), depending upon the scenario):

I have two French marshals too.

British Commanders - Strelets

A quick project while I continue to consider the mechanics of the Inkerman battle. The central figure depicts Lord Raglan, who lost his arm at Waterloo, whilst on Wellington's staff. He comes from the Strelets  ' Valley of Death set.

British Officers Campaign Dress

Three new castings from Old John in the form of British officers, based upon Minifigs S Range originals. The first figure from the left wears the Albert shako and a non regulation sheepskin coat. He depicts a member of the Rifle Brigade. The second officer, from a line infsntry Regiment, wears a sleeveless sheepskin jacket over his red tunic and has the popular undress cap on his head.  The third figure, also line infantry, is more or less in regulation dress, with the pork pie hat and blanket roll over his shoulder.
