Groom leads a horse out of the barn for a gentleman. The groom and horse are from Foundry's 18th century civilian range, the gent in the hat is a Front Rank figure from their Napoleonic civilian range. The barn is I think from Warbases.
It's funny what you see in photos that you don't see otherwise. The poor groom looks like he has a bandage on his nose, when in fact I think it was just some pale flesh highlight that looked ok at the time. I'll have to have a hard look at him and see if he needs fixing. The gentleman is sold by Front Rank along with a packhorse, and I think he's meant to be a pedlar, but I decided to make him look a bit posh. His clothing is probably too early 1800s for a Lace Wars game, but tant pis as they say.
MDF cart and cast metal horses from Warbases. The kit includes a resin casting of straw as a load for the cart if one wishes. The farm labourer is from Front Rank's Napoleonic civilians range, enjoying a tankard while stopping at a pub.
These figures could be used just as table dressing or as characters and plot points in a skirmish game like Sharp Practice. That gentleman going for a ride could actually be a spy with valuable intelligence. The straw in that cart could be hiding contraband or a deserter. The farmer with the pitchfork could be a dashing intelligence officer in disguise or maybe he's just Theo from Plotzen.
Thanks for looking. Later this week, some ancients figures, and maybe a test drive of the Hail Caesar rules.
Blessings to your brushes, MP+
