Hi All,

Greetings from deepest, darkest, Dartmoor :D

Have just received my first batch of 7YW minis and am very impressed! wonderful sculpts, full of character and very easy to paint, which is a bonus for me as I am slower than a very slow thing when it comes to getting stuff finished...

Here is a couple of pics of my first battalion, IR Fürst Joseph von und zu Reichenberg... Yep, it's for a small imagi-nations thing I've got in mind... go gentle on me!!

Best wishes,

Stu.

Greetings Stu, welcome to the forum.

Those look great!

"slower than a very slow thing when it comes to getting stuff finished..." - you and me both :)

Thank you Gentlemen, good to be here  :)

This is my first foray into 10mm, I've dabbled in most other scales but always seem to be unable to complete things, mainly because I get too ambitious, so this is going to be a small project, just a few units per side, based upon the little known 'War of the Great Pumpkin' caused by the Prince-Abbot of St. Hildaburger half-inching the Prince of Reichenburg's prize specimen ...  ;)

Here's a couple more pics...

Welcome

Just show my ignorance on the geography of England is Dartmoor near Hardwood territory?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Excellent first foray into a wonderful period. I particularly like your flags.

As I understand it Nick is slightly further north near Exmoor.

Welcome on board Stu and great work on your SYW/Imagi-Nations figures 8). Mr Harwood is based in Dunster I believe.

Thank you Leman, I design my own in Photoshop and just print them out on bog-standard paper, but they seem to work ok...

Many thanks Steve J... Yep, Dunster is more Exmoor, we don't talk to them there folks...  ;D
