Good looking game - are they Kallistra figures?

Yes, all Kallistra. I didn't fancy painting a whole 15/18mm army but fancied that I could knock up some 12mms pretty quickly as a side project. Then Tom got involved and it's grown somewhat. The Kallistra models are great to paint and look super en masse.

Side Project!!

I've gone with Pendraken, but its the same ability to get large forces painted pretty quickly.

I was having a rummage the other day, and realised
a) how many unpainted late war British I have
b) how many Germans I have already painted

And now
c) that they need to get on the table.
