I had to adjust my basing for this unit, and probably for the Chasseurs à Cheval of the Garde that will follow too, because these figures are so much wider than many other figures on the market which meant widening my standard 60mm x 60mm bases for three figures by another 5mm. Even then they only just fit by pairing individual figures and adjusting them forward and back on the bases.
Having done this unit I am quite excited about getting onto the Chasseurs à Cheval, but that won't be until some time in August.
They look superb, hell for leather charge poses. Hopefully they perform on the wargames table as well as they look.
ReplyDeleteYes looks and on-table performance are often poles apart!
DeleteDynamic posing really helps suggest speed and power.
ReplyDeleteYes I really like the trumpeter, but I fear that if he tried to blow the trumpet at that pace he would probably knock his teeth out.
DeleteVery dynamic figures and all beautifully done, even if you had to juggle them a bit to put them on their bases. Looking forward to the Guard Chasseurs a Cheval.
ReplyDeleteI usually offset the figures on the base anyway to get a bit of variety. The Chasseurs are just as impressive. But probably won't be started until late into August.
DeleteWell they look splendid and do have a wonderful animation to them:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm really pleased how well they came out.
DeleteThey are very nice indeed Mark and no doubt worth all the effort assembling them took!
ReplyDeleteAgreed...all of the swearing was worth it!
DeleteSpectacular red lancers, Mark!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. The red certainly makes the unit!
DeleteThey look great! Let’s hope they absorbed all the swearing and turn it into fighting spirit and roll high a lot. 😀
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to swearing at my dice too.
DeleteSuperb looking unit, very animated poses
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil...one thing that can't be complained about with Victrix is the dramatic action poses!
DeleteA cracking looking unit Mark…
ReplyDeleteCertainly worth all your pain 😁
All the best. Aly
Yes the pain diminishes bit by bit every time I look at them!
DeleteMore great figures Mark, any thoughts on doing some Dutch guard grenadiers?
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. Yes one of the regiments will represent the Dutch grenadiers, but since they are all in greatcoat so they won't look too different to the others I have done.
