you can be tempted over to the dark side!! : "you only have to look
at the uniforms" ..i meant looking that good they must have been
really effective any way thats my take on things

[former user]

too many fancy colours.....

Thanks Ged, yes it does. I've the postal service wagon from Kawe designed by Niels which is a unique wagon in itself.

So much character in these sort of ancillary service vehicles that have a purpose during the Napoleonic period.

Cheers,

Helen

It's great that someone is doing figures like these, especially of such quality. Your Napoleonic releases are very welcome indeed. I put it you Ged, that your are the man to immortalise Eugene de Beauharnais and his generals in 28mm!

thanks very much...........the Napoleonic period is actually my
all time favourite..the rest you can see in my Gringo40s releases
and i have drawn up a hit list of targets that appeal to me and
hopefully my customers...............

Eugene is of great interest............loyal and he fought
above his pat grade in many cases..great uniforms as well!!

For what it's worth I think you are hitting the mark with these. Rather oddly (perhaps)  as a Napoleonic player I only have Italians and Russians so I keep looking to see how I can shoehorn new stuff like this in! I'm loving what your doing though, whether I can use them or not!

He is a great favourite of mine. One of Napoleon's relatives that could actually command. To my mind the Italians (particularly during the 1812 campaign, less so after that) are one of the most underrated armies of the period.

ps you just gave me a great idea.if i do it
you will get the credit!!

Now I'm intrigued!

Cheers, Steve

Steve

the idea you gave me will be thought over this weekend!!
as im trying not to go off on too many tangents.......

As for the Italiens they did well in the peninsular on and off
and aside from the pretty uniforms are fun to play as an army.

are you at Salute?

No Salute for me I'm afraid. It's a rather expensive affair just getting there (about £200) without any purchases so I can only afford to go to Salute or BLAM and BLAM is just too good to miss! One day maybe.

I have a feeling your stand will be popular!

[gringo]

Thanks Steve........maybe next year old chap!!
we can talk Italiens so to speak!!

Chaps

working on getting as many codes as possible done of the
Guard Engineers  for Salute with possibly nearly 20 figures
eventually including drivers and seated Engineers for the firepump

as i will have limited castings for Salute i will hold back at least
one of each figure for LAF members if you let me know in advance
the codes etc will be rather last minute a week before Salute
but i will let you all know when this is done.  cheers

Hi Ged.  Yet another triumph for Gringos.  Couldn't believe the photos when my copy of wargames, soldiers and strategy came through the post.

Brilliant figures and lovely painting.  You've been teasing us with these for a while, and I can say that they're well worth the wait.  See you at Salute and my the figures fly through th door.

Best Wishes   DaveL
