Sorry forgot to put that in, it is from Grand Manner. There is a clearer picture here

Not cheap at £32 but worth every penny.

Thanks Phil. It does look well worth the price. Paint jobs like yours deserve no less!

Beautiful colours Phil. I saw the closeups on your web-site and they are very nice. Are you working on 20 figure units for both sides?

Yup 20 figure units, mainly because it optimises the use of figures from the packs. Three packs and three figures from the command pack only leaves one rank and file figure over.

Tight or what :D

Meant to ask how your British Legion are coming along, I started the first four of mine last night.

Very nice!

Are they mounted for a specific rules set?

Hi Phil,

Thank you for the reply. Okay, 20 figure units sounds good.

My British are still awaiting painting. I'm in the middle stages of completing some commission work at the moment alongside my South West Pacific project.

I really want to get my teeth into the project, but must be patience intil I've completed other work. Then it will be the colour issue? Will ask for suggested colours close to tackling project if that's okay.

I'm looking forward in seeing your BAL when they are finished. Mine you if the rocket battery comes out I'm going to cry -The greens are beautiful.

Keep up the excellent work on your collection.

Helen

We will be using the new Crusader "Rank and File" although they fit in with the sizes in the rules I based them so that the troops would be in a looser formation and the firing figures muskets would not overhang the base.
