... but I'll take yours too
You fire your musket but I'll run you through...
The Trooper
28mm
Staggering forwards, he clenches his bloodied sabre and raises the battle standard in the enemy's face, as shots ring out all around... What can victory even mean, in this slaughterhouse of flesh and metal?
The Trooper is easily both one of Iron Maiden's best and most memorable songs, and one of their most iconic images:
The song is inspired by the Crimean War, specifically the 1854 "Charge of the Light Brigade" in which British soldiers attacked in the face of Russian field guns with severe losses. So, there's a definite theme of mutual pointless death and the futility of war.
The Trooper is another figure from the excellent Iron Maiden Zombicide box set.
Oh, pretty nice job, I love the colours you used, fantastic rendition of the cover!
