After the Minwax staining, a bit of highlighting was added - particularly on the edges of the clothing.
I was pleased to find a few flags from a previous box of Victrix French from years ago. This particular set didn't come with flags. Granted the numerals on the flags don't correspond to the units, but at arm's length you really can't make them out.
With four bases, the units can be formed into Attack Column or Square, as well as Line and March Column.16 figures per unit looks good enough for me, and it allows for more units to deploy on a smaller table; not to mention that much less figures to paint. :)

ReplyDeleteIn the time you have completed 48 28mm Napoleonics I have completed three 15mm ACW figures. I really must have a word with myself ☺
Cheers, Ross
Lol! Thanks for the kind words and humor, Ross! Warm regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon. And just last night I was putting them in different formation s. ;) Kind regards, Dean
DeleteNice work, and quickly done.......😀
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Matt! This set is quite "user friendly" with the minimal parts and simplified clothing. Best regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice. I like the idea of the 4 base unit for formation variables and working with a smaller gaming space.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norm. Although, big formations look good, I intend to have enough units and maneuver space (8'x 5') for 6 players. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, David! I now need to work on the box of Perry British. Kind regards, Dean
