See the yeti's made "The Back of Beyond Times". Issue 12 I had to write a letter to Private Leadheads mum, and I don't thnk she appreciated what the yeti did with her son's face. Never mind, the British Zoological Society were very interested in the Yeti corpses. Yuri Deadovitch (Count) (with recoll...

I sincerely hope that this Count Ival is not a " one man band"

Looking forward to seeing "the crew"

I see Andrew T has some very nice stuff ready for the affray

More so, looking forward to wargaming the days away

Gents, As usual, one has been caught napping, between this darn fangled imposition called "work" and painting "BoB" most of my other waking hours, so, I have only just "cottoned on to this thread" :oops: :oops: Sorry Dave, the only Brittania figures I have in my collection are horse limber teams and...

Bluebear,

No argument from me on that

This medium is a godsend, and sites like this one, invaluable in spreading tips, ideas and knowledge throughout our hobby.

Welcome to "the Other Side",

Always glad when I hear of someone "seeing the Light" and abandoning GW and Fantasy in favour of the Historical side of the hobby.

I am sure the above respondants have set you on your path of discovery

Nice piccy of "The Andre" and Kellerman's "Boys"

My dear Colonel, I seem to recall your much vaunted "Lieb Hussars" suffering the same fate as that of the "Litovski", insomuch as to say, your hand will be exhausted in the writing of condolence letters to the bereaved next of kin of your officers and men. On the subject of "Eagles", mere baubles fo...

Thanks for the links, especially UK based Nic. A mobile machine gun (or two) are on the list with something that packs a little more power :!: Kellermans sister married a Russian Noble detainee after the surrender of one of Prince Andrei's infantry regiments on Bastille Day 1815. This said "Count De...

Have wagon, just washing the blood stains off after removing said guillotine, might try and emulate "Barry's" own splendid conversion Toss up between a conversion by little ole me, or Eureka's purpose made item. Looks good though, any comment as to compatibility with Copplestone figures :?: Was sear...

I need new specs
Should have spotted this, and looks like my site navigation has let me down (or downright impatience when flicking thro the Foundry site)

Many thanks Paul - you've put a smile on my face, even if tinged with modicum of embarassment

Bob

Thanks for the response Paul.

Looks like Foundry will be the answer.

Had been looking through Copplestone and Renegade, nice artillery, but as yet no limbers, but FPW Foundry will provide a close resemblance.


Thank you,

Bob

One certainly recalls the "Litovski" surprising the Horse Artillery of the 10th by emerging from off table, but I also seem to recall their dissappearing act into the woods, well, what was left of them after being dealt with by my courageous curassiers. :D On acclamation of our glorious Victory over...
