This figure is a very old Games Workshop casting and is 40mm tall.
I cannot remember how or why I came by this one, because I've never

hanging about at the back of a drawer, unpainted and forgotten...until now.

12th April (24 points)
These are the camps for my Anglo-Dutch and French Nine Years' War
armies. These are required under the FOG:R rules. I could have done
something simple, but I wanted them to fit in with the armies and look
good on the tabletop.
The bases are 12cm x 8cm MDF (from Warbases) and all the figures, scenic
items and the tents are 15mm Peter Pig pieces; the tents, stockpiled
sacks and barrels and camp fire being a single resin cast.
The other barrels, the people, the sheep and the wells are separate
metal castings. There is a total of 8 sheep, 8 barrels, 2 wells and 16
people. I've added a few touches, like the stacks of firewood made from
twigs and some clump foliage bushes.
The figures are from their AWI range but they don't look wildly out of
place after a bit of creative brushwork.

Being a big fan of the Caunter camouflage scheme, I decided to use that as a basis. I even adapted the early war British recognition flashes for my tanks.
