I've been keen that as I build this army up that I create suitable command bases which replicate this look.
So here are a couple which I've created for the Neapolitans:
First up a suitable dashing general who is my re-creation of General Guglielmo Pepe, and a suitable adc type to convey his orders in the uniform of the Velites a Cheval of Murat's Royal Guard.
Both figures are Willie with minor conversion work, mounted on Foremost Horses.
The second base is a Vignette of Foot guard command to go along with the Battalion I painted. The dismounted figure is a Bicorne with a head swap from a Hinchliffe foremost figure. The mounted officer started of life as a Willie Grenadier a Cheval, and was tweaked a little. Again horses are foremost.
Next .... some line

Nicely done John. great couple of bases
Beautifully done-in the best Gilder tradition. Your collection is coming along very nicely-looking forward to more.
Very nice command stands!
The time and energy lavished on commanders is never wasted, they always get the lion's share of camera shots and player's imagination focused on them.
Now get those line battalions rolling!
