I've started a tiny new project X_X :D
For now I have painted the french infantery, next the cav and artillery.

Very cool. A really good job. I used to have 2mm napoleonic armies. What did you use for the groundwork?
I'm in the middle of 2mm project. I have a set of rules by Sam Mustapha where one unit (3 inch bases) is 1 division. I'm basing 1 block to 2 battalions or 4 squadrons. I don't do this much detail - I rarely paint flesh. Its what I call my 3 foot standard - can you tell from the other side of the table!
Tried it once so I could do mixed operations games with the fleets I had then. But I remain convinced that 6mm is the way to go for horse and musket games.
Agreed, for large Horse & Musket games, 6mm is small enough for massed effect but large enough for some detail
Lovely work Edmund. The bases work a treat which makes a big difference at this szie IMHO.
Nice!
I have some laying around too, just can't decide upon rules and basing.
Very nice painting, the basing you have used is also very effective.
Lovely stuff, Edmund.
Cheers - Phil.
Very nice work.
Thanks a lot guys. Bases are important, as they are much bigger than the figures! :o
Mine are quite simple: white glue + sand + flock.
I will give a try to Shako rules and also Warmaster with simple napoleonic houserules added.
Try napoleonicmaster! Easy and good! It comes free from the warmaster historical yahoo group! I can send you a copy if you want, only thing you need is the warmaster rules.
I decided to give a try to "2 by 2"; read through the rules this morning.
Very nice
Take care
Andy
Good work, looking fabolous!
Nice work...Like the basing a lot
Been thinking about getting some of MM's new 3mm ancients to have a go with sword and spear
There's a lot of detail that you really want in ancients that doesn't shew below 10m scale. I made that mistake once; eventually realised I had dozens of 6mm armies that didn't look very different from each other.
Very nicely done - I love 2mm 8)
Very neat, and they certainly pass LH's three foot rule. :-bd
Wish mine did :(
Nice stuff indeed, have looked at 2mm before but never really went for it, one day maybe.... :-\
