Yes, with some very nice painting on display, but he isn't really very good at reading the rules, is he?  :D :D ;)

Oh, and one of his ECW cavalry cornets is upside down!

Indeed there are. I particularly liked the invisible Gnomes in the fantasy section.

Welcome Clawless Dragon. Which system are you using to post pictures? I use Flickr, and have to adjust the code to make it work.

And a warm welcome from me, too.  :-h

If you have real problems posting the photo's, I think Leon's said to send (email) them to him, and he'll load them onto the appropriate thread.

Cheers - Phil

Hi thanks, the 128kb limit on this forum is very limiting, but I saw others had used Flickr, so I simply made an account, loaded the pictures there, then used the share option on Flickr which gives a mini link... and I copied and pasted that into the thread here on the forum (thinking it would pull though a thumbnail, and the link to the larger image)... happy to adjust the code if shown how :) thanks.

Clawlessdragon, if you go on flicker on your picture, there is an arrow underneath. if your cursor is on it it says share.

click it

then you get a pop up screen. Instead of using the link given there, choose "bbcode" and that will give you a link that will work in this forum. just copy/paste that one instead.

I particularly like the effect Zippee has achieved on the helmets of his ECW cavalry; would that be something like gunmetal base with silver highlights?

thanks for the help - I was just signing in this lunchtime to fix it, but you managed to do it for me :)
I actually have another 4 units (15 stands) painted up - but have put the elves on hold whilst doing another army.
looking forward to see what other people do in the fantasy section.
