Richard Sharpe 1809

“BASTARDS!”

Kicking off the officially licensed SHARPE’S RIFLES game and hard plastic range – we have the iconic Lieutenant Richard Sharpe as he would have been in January 1809 during the events of Sharpe’s Rifles.

“They thought of him as nothing more than a jumped-up Sergeant, and they were wrong. He was a soldier, and his name was Richard Sharpe.” – Sharpe’s Rifles, Bernard Cornwell

The 54mm model is a display piece that comes with a scenic base. The 28mm version is true multi-part and has two arm and head options shown here and includes a textured base as well. Chris Hindmarsh has painted the two versions – one to look like Sharpe as per the television show and the other depicting Sharpe as described by Bernard Cornwell in the novel: tall, dark haired, and with a savage scar on his left cheek that made him look like an “execution”. 

We will be following the Sharpe box with similar frames for Harper, Riflemen Harris, and other notable characters from Sharpe’s Rifles. Andy Hobday is hard at work on the rules which will be revealed in the first game next spring.

This hard plastic box set includes two complete multi-part figures. There is a 54mm display mono-pose version of Sharpe and a 28mm multi-part version that includes two head and arm options. There are scenic bases for each figure in the box. 

Models require assembly and painting.
