Having finished the rank and file figures for my Hungarian Grenadiers I have now moved on to the Command group. The officer is one of my all time favourite Hinton Hunt sculpts - he has a real swashbuckling swagger about him I think.

The drummer has been a bit of a problem as I had used all my DK Grenadier drummers to convert to line drummers. The solution was to decapitate a French drummer and replace his head with an Austrian Grenadier's one.

On a different topic, Tony recently donated this characterful Preacher figure by Warrior Miniatures to my stalled ECW project. I just couldn't resist painting him.

The next post should hopefully feature the full unit of Hungarian Grenadiers on parade.

These Austrians should do well, the drummer's already chalked up a kill!
When combined with the invincible Sommariva cuirassiers there'll be no stopping them.
Like the puritan preacher, I'll post mine on my blog.
Good point - an unstoppable force!
Two very nice command figures, really well painted and the officer does indeed have a real swagger to him. Like the preacher a lot, cracking little figure.
Thanks Donnie and yes that preacher is great!
Lovely painting Ian - that officer is not a fellow to get on the wrong side of! I always liked the Hungarian regiments - very elegant.
It’s a great uniform - hopefully the finished unit will look very colourful.
