Will there be beer

All my russian infantry are in helmets,but the Jagers are in caps,this is just so i know which is which.
Still,like Phil said a mix would add variety.1st company might wear caps,2nd helmets,etc. I dont think anyone would argue that they never wore both in the same unit.

Good solid work Gun freak

By the same token, I knew somebody who ate Star Bar sandwhiches on a regular basis,no one ever asked he's opinion on anything

Just out of intrest,does anyone paint (on canvas rather than on walls) as well as paint figures :?: . For my sins, i was an art student :roll: and have found the cross over from canvas to figures rather helpful colour wise. I still do the odd portrait , but i mostly do reproductions of old masters (...

Order some Austrians on Tuesday from victrix, they said they'd be in by tomorrow. Still waiting............Anyone else took delivery yet

Arthur, I'm afraid they've gone to someones collection now! However,reading your post,yellow and blue hatbands does sound a little odd!I think i got carried away with the overall look of the units .

Kippax me old Tea towel, Really need to sort out a game soon.....i'll keep you posted as soon as i can sort time/venue/beer etc.

Kippax,me old fruit, you'll know better than most that Brigadiers tend to have a number of "Flunkies " round and about! That said i tend to go for round 50mm bases and try and make them in to vignettes.
Sorry no examples as my cameras crap.

Well i need a spark!..........If i like the period i've seen figures for,read a book and wanted to capture the battles on the table top or really like the latest new sculpts from some companies;then i've got to paint them .Hard to explain but i have a strong driving force to see them finished (even ...

Urmm! Is this irony,or i'm i being thick? Hi-jacking a post on Hi-jacking posts.
Bunch of Notsa wells. (Lanky twang for possible mental health issues)

Jim, Fully agree,nice photos of figs. I also think Front Rank come out well from this,must be a figure of theirs on every page!
Looking forward to playing some of the scenarios too.
