These look great. Good to hear that this project is on the move again.

I do like the style of these bases and units

[Ace of Spades]

Great stuff!... really should find some time for that period again too!

Cheers,

Excellent stuff Lem. Always good to see some hussars putting in an appearance.

The problem with seeing well-painted figures in someone else's thread is that it reminds you that you should be finishing your own project. 

[Leman]

Many a true word, but I find a bit of chopping and changing stops me going stale.

[Techno]

Talk about setting up a sitter, for someone to knock in...

[Subedai]

Very nicely painted and based.

[cameronian]

[Leman]

To the last one please.

[Fenton]

Very nice...Dont  really like the labels but thats just me

what rules are you using again?...I am sure you said but I cant remember

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Thanks guys.
Originally Volley & Bayonet (hence the 3" square bases), but now Black Powder.
Labels are so I can tell regiments and Corps apart...

[paulr]

I find the white label area clashes with the really good basing 

[Hertsblue]

I think we're all agreed that the problem in the "uniform" periods is telling the units apart. If you provide identity labels that blend in with the basing they become that much more difficult to read. If you make them stand out they then clash with the basing. The alternative is to put the labels under the base. The drawback to that is, of course, you have to keep lifting the base to check the unit identity. You pays your money....
