Austrian General / Colonel

Scheittekatte gets a promotion and horse!

Inspired by the Northwest Frontier setup at Deep Fried Lard, I thought the idea of using a mounted figure to indicate the force leader was a jolly good idea. 

This is a Front Rank miniature. I wanted a suitably arrogant pose and Front Rank delivered! I really enjoyed the change of pace in painting a character.

    1. Thanks again Phil - he's certainly got an air of authority about him.

  2. A fine looking and suitably haughty fellow, who is doubtless wondering what vagrant stole his good shabraque with the gold braid! :-)

    1. That made me chuckle! I believe he may have exchanged it for a rare parma ham? In truth, I simply forgot the braid ... one to touch up!
