Not exactly but I am doing a nine years war period army for an imaginary north German statelet at the moment. I would you look at elector vs emperor there are several French themed imaginations but they seem judging by uniform details the pictures to be later in the 18th century but I can see that s...

Will do I have Steve the mail order troll primed too as he is going to be helping me play test the adaptation of Sharp practice I am doing for the late 17th & early 18th century. This needs loads of nice figures for the character units & I am planing on mixing yours and Dixon's favouring. one or the...

most national anthems are a bit rubbish & the English one a praise song to a coward who would have bottled out and run off back the Palatinate if the rabble of Scots had made it to Leicester & not bottled out at Derby themselves, is particularly a fine example of this pathetic genre. I like Jerusale...

need to get some more myself & am badgering young Mr Spirit Games (Phil) to restock as strangely he has all but sold out, and would have if the grenadier assault pack had been in the same headgear as the firing line

Looks very good I hope it works

Nice work, which reminds me I need to get some more but I am working through my 18th century lead an plastic pile before I add to it. I will add that I painted all of the warfare stuff first except for the a couple of packs of officers who are command for my plastics pile.

I dont farm tools are down right viscus after all the medieval English bill is only a slightly modified farm tool in ifs basic form and those as an ex bill man can be scary even when blunted, and dont get me started on axes.

If I recall correctly the ratio of of pike to shot 1:3 was the "ideal" 1n the 1740's but seldom reached but by 1780-90 this had dropped to 1:5 0r 1:6 in those units that still had them & whilst I believe something like 18 pike where supposed to be issued to a British company in 1704 the only actual ...

the link needs to be cut & pased into your browser to work & the url code taken off then it leads to a real treasure trove of pictures of flags & some work for goggle translate as its all naturally in "Penguin"

Very Nice

4L Really useful boxes secured by blobs of blue or white tack on the bottom of the bases. I however also use foam figure trays in old Games Workshop figure cases bought second hand for the awkward shaped stuff like guns. Figures in comfort do the A4 sized trays to suit piety much every thing. :evil:...

Don't forget RENEDRA WARGAMING ACCESSORIES http://renedra.co.uk/images/Cavalry-Base-60x45-sml.jpg if you are in the UK or Europe they do packs of all sizes but I am using the above for my 15mm BLB armies. They are at most 1.5mm thick dont look too thick for 15mm & aren't so thin they warp I use a Me...

For British red coats I use Miniature Paints dark Red as a base coat for officers and Miniature Painters Terracotta for Nco's highlight is Miniature painters scarlet for both & low Light is to darken the mid colour to taste with Miniature Painters Umber, though in bulk I only base coat and then high...

Just remember that this is a period where the concept of uniform was for lots of reasons much woollier and more nebulous than it later became so Warfare figures will do nicely for French with the right paint scheme & standards. However if you insist on ribbons I think Northstar dose them separately ...

Liked the report though the - Knee picture might be a bit much for more gentle souls than I. I would also like to meet the surgeon and explain to him that just because orthopaedic surgeons are called carpenters he doesn't have to use an wood saw to do the incision & scalpel works much better. Keep u...
