Officer. Lifted straight from page 116 of
Wagner's classic TYW book, this officer is a classic study. He is richly
dressed, in old fashioned jacket and possibly has served on the
continent himself. He will be ideal for all early armies, as Royalist,
Parliament or Covenanter and will serve as a captain or leiutenant of
foot. He has a partizan and sword, and a pistol hung down from his belt.
A lovely study.
Ensign. This fellow is taken from the wonderful Haythornthwaite ECW
book, and is a classic Ensign, with sword drawn and dressed in a
cassock. Again he could be used in all armies, Rebel, Royalist, Scots or
Montrose.
Drummer. Every Company fielded at least one drummer and our fellow is
neatly attired in a posh jacket with ribbon and braid attached. He wears
a jaunty Montero with feathers too, something that the Colonel has
thought it worth dipping into his own pockets for, which was common at
the time. Being a warlord Drummer, although he is not carrying a sword,
he is still packing a pistol for close defence.
Sergeant. We asked for this sergeant to be a hard bitten professional
who has seen a thing or two in his time. He wears a Burgonet and
sleeveless buff coat and is doing what sergeants do best, shouting! He
could be slotted into any Civil war army.
