I have been contemplating getting hold of Blucher for years, and finally took the plunge. I have also been thinking of trying out the mdf 6mms by Commission Figurines having seen some mixed with metals a few years back - so the two things have come together and I picked up Austrian and French.
I am very impressed with the mdf figures. With a pack of 96 cavalry or 36 cavalry for £2 and plus some mdf bases off ebay I was getting 6 units for less than the cost of a coffee. There is always the temptation to paint too much detail at this scale, but resisting that I reckon I can turn out 6 bases in an hour or so. I took has.beens advice and painted the front of the front rank and the back of the back rank of the infantry, and quickly learned the horses only need the scorch marks on the top painted since they are brown already. I've printed off some flags from the web and glued on using cut down pins.
A lot of us have trouble seeing 6mm these days - so to aid unit differentiation I have added yellow or red "flowers" to tufts of grass to help.
The figures have already been used in several solo games and I'm pleased with the results. I can see myself getting a few another pack of infantry for each side and probably a Russian force as well.
The figures and bases in the photos came to less than £40.
