Title: Early 18th Century Generals
Post by: Hertsblue on 18 March 2014, 10:59:15 AM
Just begun painting up my new GNW forces. However, neither the GNW nor Marlburian ranges sport a general. Sooooo - does anyone have any pictures of SYW generals (of any nationality or range) that might do. All suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Ray

Ray,

I know it goes against the grain, but Old Glory do have a decent Marlburian Generals pack in the absence of suitable Pendraken figures.

I picked up most of the SYW generals to use with my WSS figures - I figured that if they were wearing later fashions then they were just rich and wearing the newest stuff in 1704!

Can't find any photos though (and even if I could I suspect that I couldn't tell you which figure was which code!)

No, that worked fine. Thanks for that, HG, nice work there.

Any idea what their codes were?

SYW 1 General and Aide
plus a mixture of the Prussian and Austrian Personality packs...Seydlitz is the Cuirassier General figure and Zeithen as the Hussar General (Lemon Yellow Boots).
Looking at the photo's the ink is a bit strong... but they look fine on the table!! 8)

The SYW1 will do fine. Seydlitz and Zeithen are a bit "modern" for 1708. Many thanks, HG.
