As promised, here is part two of my review of Warlord Games re-release of the Wargames Factory plastic War of the Spanish Succession Infantry. First, a few shots of the assembled models. 20 marching musketeers and 4 command figures.
Command figures provide a few choices in how they can be assembled. For this one, my idea is a sergeant with a spontoon and a pistol. He should really have a halberd, but the spontoon will do for now.
The officer, waiving his sword. He should probably have a gorget; perhaps later I'll add one from greenstuff. Or not...
Ensign. You can see the bow for the officer sash clearly from this shot; the officer has one as well.
A couple of views of the drummer. When I was clipping the plastic bits off the frame, two of the sword hangers flew off somewhere into the kitchen and have disappeared forever. As a result, neither the officer nor the drummer have the appropriate hanger.
And finally, a few images of the rank and file. These were dead simple: add a head and a hanger. I chose to have everyone in tricorne as I am a bit biased against have a small number of specials or elites - if I could do an entire unit in mitres, I'd consider that I don't want just a couple of grenadiers.
