Stunning work, first class!

Excellent work, both on the quality of the individual figures, and the shear scope of the units!

Makes me think about my project for the same battle, which has been stalled for rather too long. I like that you have used red coated officers for the grey clad regiments, is this a historical approach, as I've not noticed it elsewhere, but that could easily be me not looking properly?

Magnificent.

Just shows what you can do with Pendraken figures if you have the time.

Well do you and well done Pendraken for superb sculps  :-bd

The officers in red coats is a reference to Tiffins troops being upset about handing their red coats in when re uniformed in grey, as they believed red to be more soldierly. I figured that as officers provided their own they would naturally opt for red. There is evidence of officers in different coats to their rank and file in other regiments eg Beaumonts in crimson, troops in red and Brandenburg Blue troops in white

Thanks - really useful to know, and gives a bit of opportunity for a splash of colour

Amazing what you can do with just a centimetre to paint.

Brilliant work.

Absolutely beautiful stuff! Bright colours, very crisp, this looks incredible! Also, it's great that you picked up this rather unappreciated topic of Irish history.
