Not sure how I missed this post ! They are fantastic. I'm always impressed when I read 'conversion ' as well.
The magnetic bases work well and will have the added bonus of saving you punching your 'pick the models up like a fairground scoop' opponent in the face !!

To clear out (at least for the moment) the "it's right in front of me"  category here is the first unit of the armies I plan for the Killiecrankie campaign. The. Menzies of Weem Independent Highland Company:

Being a fairly small unit I have configured it as a Skirmisher (S) type but with +1MM (a small melee' bonus).
A brief blog post is here:

Thanks Red.

Since I'm usually my opponent it keeps ME from doing it. Wish I had gone magnetic sooner.

Thanks gentlemen.
The new tufts are actually called "heather" - fighting the urge to go back and "replant" a bunch of bases. :)

Very nice looking unit and excellent modular basing!

I trust you are pronouncing Menzies correctly. :)

Yes.  ;D  The basing is very good. I can imagine finding a few golf balls in there!  ;D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Everything looks good  :-bd I'd happily play with, admire the work, complement you on the units if I was an opponent.

Joyeous Noel All!

My Christmas gift from my wife are elements of the Opposition Force (English and Scots Royal Armies) for the things I've started on for the 1685 - 1689 period on the Celtic Fringe AND to have them painted by Toxic Pixie. Incidently I count the West-Country as Celtic Fringe since some of it actually is (and the rest sould be  :)).

Wanted to get the painting guides posted up on the blog (in case anyone has a spare moment and is so inclined):

- Before shipping off to Pixie next week.
