Famous Battle of Fontenoy painting in miniature

"Gentlemen, we never fire first; fire yourselves!"
I've now painted enough Crann Tara figures of the Gardes Françaises to recreate my favourite-ever military painting: Henri Félix Emmanuel Philippoteaux's "The Battle of Fontenoy, 1745: The French and the Allies Confronting Each Other".
The Gardes are all Crann Tara figures, apart from the mounted officer and the casualty, which are Minden Miniatures (as are the British in the background).
More info on my blog here:

Bravo!
I am a huge fan of both ranges of figures and it's so good to seem them used in this way.

A majestic sight and a superb paintjob, I still keep in my eyes your drummers lace! Many congrats!
You managed to transfer the feeling of the painting in your diorama!

Absolutely stunning, superb work. Can't beat Minden and Crann Tara in my opinion, great figures.
