IIRC, he was some sort of promotional figure for Warlord’s Black Powder game. Thin red line at Balaclava in The Crimean War? Called Big Wullie?

Yep, I think that's "Big Wullie", still available with some of yhe rulebook deals I think, or with the Warlord loyalty points system.

He's still on my shelf upstairs! Great figure, pity there wasn't much follow-up with Crimean War stuff, but then it's not a particularly popular genre.

Strange given the charge of the light and heavy brigades, the thin red line, the chocolate box uniforms etc. It was rather one-sided though so which probably doesn’t make for much of a game.

Yes, and to make things worse the stuff they have now released (including a highlander regiment) is by a different sculptor :(
