"Command Figures for FLW" Topic

In the process of accumulating armies for Funny Little Wars games. I have mostly Armies In Plastic figs which fit the bill perfectly but I'm looking for a few stand alone Command figures in 54mm. Don't want to spend too much $$ on them if possible.

Any recommendations?

Oh, my opposing armies consist of Sudan era British vs Prussians.

Thanks!

Why not use the mounted officer figures from the Armies in Plastic British Lancer and Prussian Uhlan sets?

The AiP cavalry sets come with a mounted officer, trumpeter, and three mounted trooper figures -- not enough figures to constitute a large cavalry "unit."

But if you buy two boxes of each you can field a cavalry squadron of eight figures: an officer, musician, and six troopers; and have a spare mounted officer and trumpeter left over for your command stand.

Alternatively, the BMC American Civil War 54mm plastic sets have several decent mounted officers (Generals Lee, Meade, and Grant, I believe). You can often find them for very reasonable prices. I have the General Lee figure, and they paint up nicely for rather crude figures. You could do some conversions by swapping heads from your spare AiP British and Prussians.

That would work!

Sevastopol. Do you have a blog, this idea interest me.

Clays, no blog as yet but I'm thinking of starting one at some point.
