Great Northern War Project - Batch #5

Swedish Command Figures

Completing my Swedes for this project are three Swedish command figures.  As always, the camera is very unkind, as I swear they look much better 'in the flesh'. But it is what it is.

Below is Colonel Wallander, whose command this is.

A Swedish General of Horse:

And for the pièce de résistance, Charles XII of Sweden, himself!

The above psychological study of Charles has him setting lose 'the lads' on a hapless Russian fusilier.  I'm not sure what to call this one: "Unleash the Hounds", "Let Slip the Dogs of War", or "Feet, Don't Fail Me Now!".

 

Charles' finger in the air could mean "Fear God!" or, "That's one!"

The sharp end of war.

Charles prefers his super-sized sword (courtesy of Wargames Factory). Hounds, I believe, are old Ral Partha, while cavalry below are Old Glory. Fusiler is a conversion. As I said, it is what it is.
