I don't do button holes because I haven't been able to find a suitably small tube to press them with. They'd be extremely small.
In any event most people won't want to paint them and if they are raised they become an impediment which look nasty if not painted. Its easier to leave holes that can be left black to suggest buttons.

bloody democracy ...

So maybe it's better to leave it flat - without buttons or holes.
This way, willing will apply buttons on their own - with small drop of glue.

Already saving for these!

Following on from the previous post about the forthcoming range, will there be diffrent poses for each pack? I am thinking infantry firing, standing and kneeling and pikemen with pikes at various angles. Also diffrent officers and ensigns. Having been inspired by the work of the Leauge of Augsburg in various magazines and through the Under the Lilly Banners rules and the Mark Allen articles in WI i think i could really get into this period.

Yep, I think there's gonna be 3-4 poses per pack?

[clibinarium]

Yes 3 to 4 poses will be fairly standard to each pack, in a few cases there will be more. Firing infantry packs will have men in varoius poses, but not kneeling. Pikemen will all have their pikes upright as angling them causes basing problems.

[YORSTONS]

Ok, re the pikemen any chance of having them open handed so you could have diffrent poses without the basing problems? Then let us add the pikes seperatly.

Hi Leon,

When did you say the new LOA range was due out?

[Leon]

I'm sure I've seen this thread before somewhere!  We're looking before the end of the year I think.

Hi, I just wanted to add my voice and say how keen I am to see these guys out. Never been interested in 10mm before but these are just such great looking sculpts and such a good period!

And that's my two cents worth....

[clibinarium]

Don't ask about the figures, they are being worked on  but I found this today. I've no real interest in the FoG rules, but I like the art work;

Its an interesting period - do keep in mind there was a new world component.

Have a look at 'Beneath the Lily Banners', a set of rules specifically written for the period:

Very promising, I might get to fight Bothwell Brig yet!

BTW are Monmouth rebels in civies included in the new range, as the ECW peasants don't quite hack it?
