Blood and Plunder - Dugthefug1644
Forlorn Hope
This model was awesome to create, but it highlights how getting wysiwyg replications of the official line can be quite tough. As an English forlorn hope miniature you need a brace of pistols, a musket, grenades and a melee weapon. Even after using a cavalry pistol in holster, a cavalry musket, greenstuff bag and grenade he still isn’t wysiwyg. I think the teddy bear stuffing strand fuse smoke has come out really well and does identify him, but I am still considering improvements to add the correct weapons, without ruining what I have done so far.
I would say it is WYSIWYG. Once fired, a musket is basically just a big club, so therefore would count as the melee weapon. As for the brace of pistols, perhaps this guy is just really quick at reloading his single pistol. Or if you have another mini in the unit with a bag, perhaps he’s carrying spares.
The grenade looks very cool, only one mini in four can have those though.
