Fellow TMPers
I'm looking for 28mm metal sergeants and sappers to complement Three Armies' British standing and marching figures. What are the options? I've looked at quite a few websites, starting with Perrys, but can't find any image or description of BH5, British infantry command – does it have what I'm looking for? Front Rank do a sergeant, but I'm not sure how compatible it would be. Grateful for suggestions. |

Hi there,
Check out Brigade Games;
BG-NBR015 British Infantry Veteran Sergeants
One of the four figures is also a pioneer.
Size wise they'll be very compatible although they are peninsular British.
Cheers

Hinchliffe do these in Belgic shako if thats what you are after. Looks like 2 versions of each. Figures are old designs though. |

Thanks both for the quick replies.
Brigade Games sergeants would be great if they had the Belgic shako.
I already have the Hinchliffe figures, but as you say they are old and considerably smaller than Three Armies. |

Front Rank has six versions of Sgts. in Belgic shakos with pikes.
Knuckleduster has three versions of Sgts. in Belgic shakos with pikes.
Warlord has a nice Waterloo command set with a pioneer, Sgt with outstretched pike plus two ensigns carrying colours, a drummer and an officer (incorrectly wearing a bicorn).
Brigade Games has a Belgic Pioneer (very nice figure) but it comes in a set with two mounted senior officers.

Foundry has a Waterloo Command Set BO37 that has two pioneers, two Sgts with pikes, one Sgt (Lt Coy) with musket and one officer.
link I hope that this helps. |

Many thanks for these helpful suggestions, I will check out all those options. Much appreciated. |

The Perry ones should work just as well. But I will get to do more commands for my British soon enough. The guy who does all my casting etc had a heart attack recently and is just getting back to work. |

If you like, I can give you a ton of Victrix serjeants in whatever shako you need. PM me or contact me through blog link |

Three Armies – British sergeants and sappers for your own range would be the perfect answer and happy to wait, good health is far more important than toy soldiers.
Lord Hill, that is a very kind offer, many thanks. |
