The Loose Association of Wargamers

I'm about to start painting a figure that is meant to represent a general for my Covenanter army (a fourth & final one).

It's mounted, in full armour (it'll be black) with a bare head. Generally, I like to add a figure or two to a General's base for that much vaunted 'diorama effect'.

However, the only figure I actually have is (already painted) a trumpeter on a white horse. The figure is swathed in a cloak & wears a floppy, broad-brimmed hat with plume. Too English Royalist? I know fashions were island-wide but there'll be nothing about the two figures that says, "Scotsmen".

Your learned opinions are sought.

Either (a) convert the trumpeter to give him a blue bonnet, or (b) add a third figure with a Scottish flag (often done to mark a general's position, even in those times) - and a blue bonnet, if desired.

Put a sheep on the base in a blue bonnet, to mark him as Scottish.

OK...this is funny (as much as I hate to admit it).

Dammit. And I had my standard reply prepared:

"Only used in action as a bridgelayer, though one was lost in Canterbury to a German air raid."
