Start of a new project.

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

The horses in the front rank in the third picture look mighty cross with something!

Probably haven't had their oats for some time.

Ray,

Just the artillery to go now? Looking good.

Ray, I hope Front Rank are giving you a discount because of all your purchases but mostly for all the FREE advertising they are getting through your efforts. Lovely looking stuff as always.

Mr churchill,
the figures i've seen from your collection so far are stunning, I cant help but admire the skill in painting required. I only hope Front Rank have a contingence plan if you stop buying from them. :lol:

I agree that Front Rank are well sculpted and lovely to paint,i have however noticed they tend to be well fed and not one of my Front Rank French has a remotely happy face! :cry: Still, they dont have a good time with the dice rolls, so maybe its comfort eating. :lol:

Ray,

Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh along with the rest of your nags, sorry horses. We French are great admirers of your horseflesh - especially with a touch of garlic.

Good to see you back gain!

Hi Ray,

Fantastic work by your painter yet again.

Will these be making an appearance at Lundin Links?

Ray and Toggy,

Borrowing from Barry's idea of a 200mm area of dead ground behind the artillery, I proposes a similar area behind each regiment of horse. I mean, that's a lot of dung.

Ray,

Looking great and at least they will move a bit quicker than some brigades I've known.

Regards,

Jim
