Scruby Commando

Commandant Ross leads out the newly refurbished Scruby Commando. These are more of the figures I received from Ross last year that have now been touched up, re-varnished and rebased to my own system.

These figures by Jack Scruby are slender and look a bit small compared to the Boer figures by Jacklex and Newline Designs but they have a charm of their own. I particularly like the figure representing Commandant Ross with his rifle cradled in his arm.

Each of my Commando’s will be comprised of 12 men plus a Commandant based in such a way as to allow casualty removal. The initial phase of this project will require me to have three such Commando’s and I’m well on the way to this now.

    1. They are surprisingly nice figures considering the simplicity of the sculpts.

    1. This is my first experience of Scruby figures and they do have considerable charm. They also fit in ok with some of the Jacklex but are quite thin.

  4. I can feel the excitement building as the lads feel battle coming closer. ( Did I mention Commandant Ross started his career as a horseholder? )

    1. I guess every Commandant has to start somwhere? Hopefully they will get to see some action this year!
