Title: French Revolution War vignettes - Mule
Post by: bluewillow on 17 February 2023, 11:20:37 PM

I like to add small table pieces to my revolutionary wars/ Napoleonic tables from time to time. I have quite a few to complete over the next 12 months

Here is my latest piece a lady leading her mule to market.
Lady is from foundry, mule from Mirliton. Another entry for the analogue painting challenge!

Such lovely pieces are the very essence of a game that qualifies as eye candy.  Rank upon rank - or whatever formation - of uniformed, or not, of the mainstay fighters is fine but it is these extra elements that raise a game above "good looking" to 'delectable' (thus: eye candy).

Very nice and I like the ideas of decorative vignettes though they tend to get pushed to the back of the queue a bit.

I like to have them on the desk and as a change up just complete one every now and then to help when slogging through large units.

Here, a couple photos of my 15/18mm vivandiere, not near as impressive.

We use her to show which side has the initiative when using such rules. Or general decoration when not. Made by Warmodeling/Fantassin. The foot Vivandiere in the set is much less impressive and has weak ankles. But we love this one.
