Representing a mounted scouting party, this seven figure set comprises an officer, trumpeter and standard plus four troopers and is a fine complement to our previously released Arquebusiers de Grassin infantry.
Sculpted by Alan Marsh this successful 100 Club release completes the Arquebusiers de Grassin project. While the foot battalion are best known for their harassing of the English at Fontenoy 1745, the single mounted squadron present also proved their worth both before the battle as forward scouts and in the aftermath during the pursuit of the retreating British.
This charming diorama was both created and painted by Kosta Heristanidis and showcases what can be achieved with this expressive set of figures. We gave Alan free rein on this one and are very pleased with the narrative style of the poses which Kosta has highlighted so skilfully.
Those with a bent towards Imagi-nation gaming will have already noted the many possibilities these figures offer for light troop types of the 18th century.
