Mark's Little Soldiers

[FramFramson]

Pretty sure Orctrader posts here. 

[Metternich]

And he does !

[Orctrader]

And he does !

Yes, I do.   

Glad they reached you safely and you're happy.  (With Ebay when I send abroad I often don't know if they have arrived unless feedback is left or the buyer tells me.  I'm sure it was easier in Ebay's early days.   )

Anyway, your new unit first appeared earlier in this thread.  LINK

[Metternich]

Orctrader thanks again.  They are very nice little troops indeed.  I left you a very favorable feedback in Ebay.

I'm a huge fan of these figures, and they're on my list of projects to get stuck into for next year. I want to try and run something for my Dad and I to play, and we've played Contemptible Little Armies a few times so will probably use those.

I suspect I'll probably lean into the Tintin theme and do Syldavians and Bordurians, but I might Biggles it up with Maltovia and Lovitna from Biggles Goes To War.

The Panovian Royal Guards are the spitting image of the Syldavian Royal Guards !

Oh, good spot about the Royal Guards! That settles that then I think. Syldavia and Borduria it is!

[Metternich]

I like to think the Royal Guards would wear the red uniform for ceremonial purposes and a more appropriately colored uniform for combat (perhaps retaining certain regimental distinctions, such as the hat but in a more appropriate combat color than white, the red plume, and perhaps some appropriate piping).

Sarissa are producing a great set of models and terrain suitable for Mark's Little Soldiers. They come coloured as well!

Hi all. I bought some of these figures after I saw Mark's table at Partizan in May and loved it. I've been a bit slow with painting them, and took a snap of some bits a while ago. Hope you enjoy seeing them in eye-popping teal. I have a few more done since the photo and more on the way. Very enjoyable stuff!

Splendid

Very cool - makes me think very much of Tin Tin!

I do like the idea of the Sarissa terrain - still resisting another period!

[Metternich]

Very Carpathians.

We're having a 'This Weekend Only' sale on MLS if you're interested?

Well I was interested! 75 packs ordered. Should keep me busy for a while.

Out of interest, why was only one pack of the militia infantry on special and not the other?
