"Victrix 28mm Peninsular ensigns and officers" Topic

Hello,

Recently I bought this set from victrix despite not being able to see too much of it online. I could not find any other pictures of these figures besides the ONE offered by victrix. I hope these help others decide if they are interested in it. The pack of 8 is 12 pounds. They paint up rather nicely and are more detailed than their officers in the box set. The standard bearers hands need to be attached with and not plastic cement since they are resin. They are shipped all together in a thin plastic box, and one of the fanion spear heads tip broke off in transport. Otherwise they were all good.
Here is one I painted to add to my 71st HLI regiment.

and backside

Here are the other 7 from the set


If you want to see individual close ups I will post them to this thread.

If you are selling these…then this post should be on the Napoleonic Market Board and not here.

Not selling them. I bought them even though it was one of the few plastic products there is very little info about online and was trying to help others decide.

Not to be pedantic, but I'm going to be pedantic…

Your 71 HLI officer isn't quite right. As Highlanders, the officers wore their sash over the shoulder instead of around the waist.

Not that anyone makes an appropriate figure for this, which is why I'm tearing my hair out. You've made a decent run at it, given what's available, but I for one really wish someone (Perry, Front Rank) would make proper HLI command figures.

I am aware. I used victrix highland officers with the sash and trouser and gave them a shako for my other officers. For my Sargent I cut a highland torso from the kilt and glued it to a pair of trouser legs to give him the shoulder sash as well.

Here are my 71st serjeants – link

I've done similar for the officers (Victrix Highland torso added frankenstein-style to various legs)
