Defend a Hopeless Position is the special edition miniature sculpted by us for attendees at Historicon 2015 in Fredericksburg, USA.
It is a bit of fun and celebration of the 200th anniversary of Waterloo the Historicon giveaway figure this year is from a light company caught red handed stealing a pig – Free to those lucky enough to go to the event.
Taken from the film ‘Waterloo’ this rifleman depicts a member of the 1st Battalion 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot – perhaps better known for thieving their way around Europe they were arguably the best fighting unit in Wellingtons force. This chap is inspired from a scene where he is caught stealing a pig, A hangable offence in Wellingtons army!
