I have just bought the Old Guard figures from Victrix.
The head and bearskin, is a separate part for the multi build figure.
Each of the heads a small ‘spike’ at the rear, below the bearskin at what I imagine is the hairline.
What is this?
Is it part of the bearskin, like a tail or tassel in which case what colour should it be
Or
Is it part of the soldiers hair or a hair piece (a bit like a pony tail)
Every head piece has this on. If it is hair, should some be shaved off …. Or is a regulations thing?
I have searched every image that I can find in books and online and can’t fine anything ….. except online photos relating to Victrix show the spike retained and often painted white, but also black and brown (which makes me think it is hair).
The feature is not present on my Warlord Games metal Old Guard.
Any help appreciated - thanks Norm.
