The chap at Impetus is developing a set called "Baroque", so far it is only the basic version but is element based. The basic version is free. The ancient set is very good IMO. There are lists on the forum for Poles and there may be a beta list available for download. http://www.dadiepiombo.com/bbar...

Hey Jack. I'm half way through my first few boxes of Brits and Froggies with another truckload on the way from Caliver soon (hopefully). Whether I actually get round to painting them all is another matter! It also looks as though quite a few guys in our club have been bitten as well. It would appea...

The common convention for WAB is ALL infantry on 20x20mm. However a lot of folk put dedicated skirmishers on 25x25 or 30x30. Stick all the cavalry on 25x50mm as single bases then it's easy to put cavalry in various formations especially skirmish order. The above sizes also allow for putting them int...

Although I have to cut out the part where the colours join as it has cured too much. It does cure quickly when mixed and exposed to air. ...
