Are you holding the wand correctly? How's your Latin pronunciation? Have you tried other spells?

Once again, great work Paul. I particularly like the way you have mixed the position of the flags and drummers on each base .

[fred.]

Very nice Paul. I do like the subdued colours of the troops, and the brighter colours of the officers. Cracking work.

[Techno]

Absolutely belting, once again, Paul ! 

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Superb work. Really beautiful there.

[paulr]

Thanks all

... I particularly like the way you have mixed the position of the flags and drummers on each base .

I'm planning on using the flexibility of the sabot basing to allow me to represent:

• Pike heavy - pike at front with flags behind
• Standard (1:2) - officers and flags at front
• Shot heavy - shot at front with officers behind

... I do like the subdued colours of the troops, and the brighter colours of the officers...

That is thanks to some of the really useful advice I've had from the forum on this project

Terrific looking units.

[Westmarcher]

It's not only the look of the units (painting and basing, etc.) but the inclusion of the commanders' names that impresses me also (presumably the names are historically accurate? - please don't tell me, if not!  ).

Here's hoping Captain of Horse Oliphaunt Crumple doesn't turn up.
