Iain W 28mm Napoleonic French command 50 points

 Here are two command stands. Murat , Ney and an aide de camp, Murat and Ney are Foundry, not sure of the ADC, similar size, they were part of the mixed command collection I picked up from ebay, Murat was fun, a bit like a fantasy figure to be honest and a nice contrast with Ney who I gave a grey coat to, to make him seem a bit more dour! I've added some plastic under all three of these to help them cope with their 28mm colleagues, I don't think the ADC 's horse is quite right, he's on a light cavalry mount but I figure he'd have to use whatever remount he can at some point? 

The 28mm Perry figures are Marshal Soult and one of Murat's aide de camps converted from one of the spare chasseurs de cheval of the Imperial Guard, he seemed a bit big with Murat and the other ADC seemed a bit small with any of the Perry figures so that's why we have the arrangement we do, Murat's ADC's uniform is nice and bright and interestingly there are other Marshal's ADCs which are similarly coloured.

 

Five 28mm cavalry is fiftey points towards my total, more mounted Napoleonics on the way, I'm still scratch building my renaissance entry, so we can safetly say that won't get done!

In my haste to photograph them I couldn't make it to the shed, so they we're photographed held at eye hight on a board in the kitchen, for the light,apologies for the background!

All the best

Lovely set of commanders Iain with some heavy hitters from the Grand Armee.  Interesting putting New and Murat on the same base, those personalities must have clashed!  We tend to think of them based on their later more erratic years (in both cases leading to death by firing squad in 1815) but in their prime they were fine commanders.  Soult was a first class commander (and looter).  

Both humans and horses come in various sizes so the mismatches look fine on the finished bases.  I'll forgive your photography issues if you promise more figures next week with proper pictures.
