I've already painted Lasalle some time ago but the aim was always to add another figure to his command base, well make the base bigger and add a figure. I've finally got around to doing that. The Aide was one of the big batch of second hand Perry chasseurs a cheval of the Imperial Guard, so like another one of his surplus comrades he has found a different role as an Aide de camp with the addition of a plastic hussar dolman,a plastic handle for his sheathed sword and a replacement hand as I removed the sword hand. Not exactly accurate but close enough for jazz, he's a nice figure, who's been haunting my painting table for some time so nice to push him through and it means I'm up to 377 painted Napoleonic figures, one more unit and I'm scott free! Well, hit my Napoleonic target anyway and I've got three Austrian cavalry units in varying stages of completeness so should get there!
More Napoleonics. More terrain, Napoleonic terrain? Dark age figures, Dark age terrain? It's all fun and games!
All the best

Very nicely set with them clearly conversing with each other in a hurried / urgent kind of way. Nice action pose.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, trying to get them to look like they're conversing seems to have worked?

Fine repurposing of this trooper as an ADC.
ReplyDeleteSeemed to good to waste and Lasalle was on the lookout for an ADC!
DeleteBest Iain
Good idea that repurpose the CaC figure Iain. Could the aide be clutching a message for LaSalle?
ReplyDeleteChris/Nundanket
That was the idea, Chris, I just couldn't cut a teeny tiny piece of paper so I'm saying it's there!
DeleteBest Iain
Great miniatures sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely vignette my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Phil!
DeleteBest Iain
Very nicely done Iain, I love the ADC's flamboyant uniform, he really looks the part 👌
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, got to have a flamboyant uniform if you're an ADC, especiallywith a hussar general !
DeleteBest Iain
He looks like he was meant to be with the pose you have put him in. Great work Iain, and that is a great effort with the total number of figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, on both counts!
DeleteBest Iain
Yes, nice active command stand!
ReplyDeleteAnd it does feel good to clear off some figures that have been hanging around for a while.
Thanks Fitz, yes he was getting the odd bit of paint, here's and there but in the end he just needed a little push!
DeleteBest Iain
Iain, great result, the animation is very evocative and your brushwork is topnotch. Glad you hit your numbers. I seem destined to fall behind this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, not quite there but pretty sure I'll hit it,don't always!
DeleteBest Iain
Makes for a cracking vignette, lovely work and the two figures work so well together, great interaction between them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, thought they seemed to complement each other?
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely figures as always Iain and well based. I have a Lasalle figure from Piano Wargames (Lucas) in the pipeline but he must wait for the Bavarian Chevaux Legers squadron which I about to start to (perhaps) finish my Bavarian army.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I'm well on my way to assembling my Bavarian infantry, so I'm looking at converting Bavarian chevaulegers from Perry French chasseurs with Victrix Bavarian heads!
DeleteBest Iain
I hadn't thought of that conversion Iain, I can't wait to see them. Do you have enough Bavarian heads?
DeleteYes , you get loads in the Victrix Bavarian infantry, one of the reasons for getting some, I'll post a work in progress once I've got some on the go?
DeleteBest Iain
Great stuff Iain you are going to need some more storage !
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, always need more storage! To be fair I think he'll fit back in the box he came out of!
DeleteBest Iain
A lovely looking vignette Iain…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks very much Aly!
DeleteBest Iain
Sweet work and composition, as usual; I always love the way you make your minis look lire actual vignettes
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Suber!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent work and the dynamic poses of both figures work perfectly together:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve,yes complimentary figures I think?
DeleteBest Iain
Nice job on those uniforms! Looks great. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Stew,even though they're not your thing!

Lovely vignette, Iain.
