Just started a blog to document my journey to completing a huge GNW project..... Using only pendraken figures. So possibly of interest here.....

There are some very colorful uniforms in the GNW, and that is a great part of what grabs me in a period or army. Countries had not truly adopted a color associated with nationality yet.

Hi guys

Thanks for the support.

I'll be uploading some photos of the Russian army so far over the weekend.  Only 14 battalions and 5 dragoon regiments...not quite the 54000 figure Dresden I just saw  :o

And no the armies had not adopted single colours, although the Swedes are almost totally in blue apart from the 3/4/5 man regiments, and most of my Russians are in green with red facings as that made it easy to send one figure sample to the painters!

Looks really good, I like those meaty units :)

Your basing size on infantry is the same as we've ended up with for Twilight of the Sun King - 120mm wide (although 30mm deep), coming from putting two 60mm bases originally for P&S together, with about the same figure count! If P&S palls, give Twilight a try, Hwicce and co. have just released a scenario book for the GNW.

Any reason the cavalry are a bit less wide - just fits the figures better?

Hi

Who are hwicce and Co? Never heard of them before.

Yeah it was asthetic. I could have gone to same frontage with extra horse figures, but I had to draw a line somewhere!  As you just front up one per facing for the pike and shotte rules, the couple of cm isn't an issue.

Sorry, Hwiccie is Nick Dorrell, one of the forum members - he's in the Pike and Shot society and partly responsible for the published version of their LoA era rules - Twilight of the Sun King :)
