The Erbprinz Karl Friedrich von Hesse Seewald is being sent to an undisclosed nation for further training in the art of military science. The Erbprinz will participate in campaigns of said nation initially as an observer, but also as a participant after further training.
The figures are all from the Fife & Drum Miniatures range of AWI figures, except for the Erbprinz (on the round base), who is a Minden British officer. There is also one RSM Prussian officer (pointing) on foot, but the rest of the figures are either American Militia painted in green coats and red facings, or regular Continental infantry castings.
This goes to show Fife & Drum figures are suitable for a number of different purposes, both real and imagined.

I painted the figures for a friend as a gift so that I could have my personality figure participate in his campaign. After painting the Erbprinz, I decided that it would be fitting to send him off with his own bodyguard of jagers, so I also painted 28 more figures as part of the gift to my friend.
I really enjoyed the freedom to paint the uniform in any manner that I see fit. I like them so much that I will probably start painting my own Hesse Seewald Imagination army.
