Sharpe's Rifles
Introduction
This was an inevitable project. Sean Bean’s adventures as Richard Sharpe were thoroughly enjoyed in my younger years, alongside Bernard Cornwell’s books. Whilst there’s a few Sharpe figure ranges available (Brigade Games has a particularly nice one), I have resisted buying any, mainly from a reluctance to double up a collection from one historical period as I already have a Peninsula War Napoleonic collection in 15mm.
My resolve broke with Wargames Atlantic announcing a new licensed Sharpe range. This range starts with some character models in both 54mm and 28mm, with the larger sized models an additional attraction, as it would be nice to challenge myself with painting something a lot larger than normal.
Wargames Atlantic will be releasing a game in due course, but this project starts with a bit of a slow burn, with the first released model, which is of course Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe.
