The British Empire!

[Ray Rivers]

As my Yank army comes to a close, I have decided to begin a British one. 

They will most likely end up on Venus... 

Here is my first (test) mini by Empress:

[Dr. The Viking]

He looks like great! Now paint some one hundred guys and battle away. 

(I totally get the animals - they're depictions of his inner self: he is sheepish, an arse and a cow-ard!)

Nice brush work.

[joroas]

cow-ard!)

The animal suggests that he is bull-ish............ 

[Ray Rivers]

Though you can't see them in the photo, the large testicles tipped me off that he was, indeed, a bull.

They will most likely end up on Venus... 

As Gilbert and Sullivan almost wrote, "a soldier's lot is not a happy one (happy one)"

I'll be following this with interest, Ray 

[Ray Rivers]

Thanks mates!

There will be a few more for the LPL with hopefully, better photos.

Given how long it took me to do my American army, I figure this thread should still be active within the next couple years. 

[Malamute]

A great start to your British. Hurrah! 

[Chairface]

I look forward to each addition with great anticipation!

[Ray Rivers]

I'm starting with the boring stuff first... the normal chaps, the "thin red line" and all that...

My general thinking though is that the army will be small in number, supplemented by native troops and lots of gizmos and gadgets.

Should be fun!

[Mister Rab]

native troops and lots of gizmos and gadgets.

Intriguing

I think it's supposed to be Lions lead by Donkey's Ray

Next installment of my British Empire on Venus project:



The thin red line gets a little longer... 

[Mister Rab]

  Those are really lovely, Ray! Fabulous faces and lovely bright, without being cartoonish, uniforms!

[Chairface]

Indeed they look wonderful! And doing up the rank and file first is a great idea. It's a motivational tool.
