I have painted up a few civilian refugees...
These figures are from Brigade Models Great War range...

Apparently they are based on photo's from 1914...
I managed to track down one image...
These have all been painted in my usual style...
I have tried to keep the colours fairly muted to try and reflect the mood of the retreating refugees...
I also did a head swap on a couple for variety...
The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...

Bases from Warbases...

I have also started painting up some British cavalry to represent King Edwards Horse who were pushed into the fighting around Estaires.
Nuno has also sent me some more background on the Portuguese army...

Sniping in France... by Major H. Hesketh-Prichard.
All the best Aly
Nicely done refugees—they would be a poignant addition to any table. I’ll have to look up Major HHP’s text to add to my Great War books: thanks for the lead!

Refugees are part of the wars, sadly, and you did a great job with these ones...

An interesting addition! I should get some for my VBCW but have not won the Lotto to afford the postage!
ReplyDeleteThank you David...
DeleteThey work very we just as random civilians or a group of refugees
You are thinking of Brigade Games in the US
Brigade Models is a British company.... so nothing stopping you adding even more character to your VBCW collection.
All the best. Aly
Some nice conversions there to get a bit of variety Aly.
