Lovely.

[Bloggard]

good stuff.

figures have more naturalistic proportions than many a range out there.

Looking good!

[Friends of General Haig]

Thank you, all.  Your comments are very much appreciated  .

Nice looking unit and good use of the swords men, too!

For me the Battle of Rocroi at the end of Alatriste immediately came to mind. A movie and no shields (if I remember correctly), but it seemed quite plausible to me.

Great looking figs!

[Friends of General Haig]

Thanks, Will and Nick 👍

Really nice. The 2 brands look to go together extremely well.

[Friends of General Haig]

Thanks, Paul. 

Yes, they go together really well.  The 1898 are a tad taller/bigger, but once painted up I struggle to tell them apart!
