It's all about "bases, faces, flags and shields" right? 

Those are the parts that really make a unit pop on the table.

So I had the brilliant idea to add a discarded French shako to Blücher's base and make him pop that little bit more.

Someone had given me a pair of French Chasseurs a Cheval which were one of the free Warlord Games plastic sprues that often come with Wargames Illustrated magazine. 

Painted the shako on the sprue and then cut it from the head. A quick dab of black to cover the exposed plastic and then tweezers and superglue to position it among the long grass at Marshall Vorwarts' feet.
