This is my challenge entry fee figure. I have been progressing slowly with quite a few models and finally have some ready to post. This figure is intended to be for ScottM, who should be approaching the Altar of the Snowlord very soon.
I was scouting around for something to paint that might be useful to Scott and thought this could good for his FIW games.
This Trooper of the Georgia Rangers is actually an extra figure from my planned unit for the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion.
Brigadier General James Oglethorpe (Governor of the colony of Georgia) was in England in 1745 recruiting for the Georgia Rangers. The recruits were set to sail from Hull, but had to disembark and assist the government effort against the rebellion. They saw action in the skirmishes at Clifton during the pursuit of the retreating Jacobite army.
I purchased this (along with quite a few more figures) at the excellent Battleground Show in England in November 2019. It is from the lovely '45 Rebellion range from Crann Tara Miniatures. Most of the range was sculpted by Richard Ansell. Sadly, Richard passed away just last month.
For points, I think that should be 10 for the mounted figure plus 20 for the Curtgeld bonus = 30 points.
Nice figure Jonathan! Well done!

I am painting a unit of Georgia Scouts for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThe rank and file uniform is fairly obvious but are there distinctions for the officer and hornist?
