Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Nice job on those Lemmey, i do like the bigger unit, i'm trying to do a regiment per week in between jobs as i'm getting withdrawal symptoms  ;D.   Not heard of that tiffin bloke before, i'll keep an eye on your progress and might nick some of your regiments. I have lots of French uniform pictures  if you need some.  Looking forward to seeing more.

I don't know anything about the League of Augsburg or Zaccariah, Tiffin, but I must say these look great Lemmey.  Though I don't need any inspiration (to get into new periods), I've got way too much going on as it is ;)

Nice - it makes me realise that I have based my cavalry too close together, yours look better having a tad more space to 'breathe'

Duke Speedy of Leighton

I was planning 5 to a base like my Roman cavalry, but I felt in a 30mm base they looked too squashed.
Same for 10 shot to a base, i ended up with 8 in the end.
Plus Clibinarium's beautiful sculpts need a little more space because of their variety, sure I'm breaking field regulations but it's what felt right at the time! :)

Don't usually squash mine together, but 17th-century ironsides five on a 4cm frontage do look about right; sure the same would go for Pappenheimers.

Very nice, Will, very nice. Cracking name  8)

You have made a really nice job of those. I am continuously teemted by this range.

Do you have a set of rules you intend to use with them Lemmey?

Duke Speedy of Leighton

They will be used with FogR to start, probably use them in BP too, but Nigel Emsen is working on something too...

So that's the Famous League of Ausberg!

Where are the goat drivers, ammunitions casters and fusilier with an unpleasant rash?

Seriously though, they look really good. Well done, Sir. I take my floppy hat that isn't really a tricorne yet off to you.

Kev I'd like to take you up on uniform pictures please, also any flags you have that could be copied  ;)

Cheers mate

Oh as a free ego boost, your work convinced me to do NYW!

I went for 10 foot on a 40x20 base and 4 cavalry on a 40x30 base.

Foot wise units are 54/55 strong but I do like the look!

They are a seriously nice range! And those are lovely painted examples of :)

Any future "Marlburian" ish purchases might be sneaky LoA "no one will complain, the figures are too nice" on my personal part ;)
