Finally got the chance to finish these figures over Christmas, though they over ran quite considerably. This covers all the essentials of the LoA range now, but there'll continue to be additions, for instance there'll be dragoon horse holders etc (please don't ask what's next, because I haven't decided yet).
So this batch has as many mounted officers and generals as an army will ever need, plus a couple of dismounted figures for good measure. And the basics of French and Alliance dragoons, though there is some stuff to add like horse holders and Alliance dragoons in fur hats (probably just covert the greens once this batch has been cast). Its a bit hard to make out the dragoons in the photos as most hold their muskets by their sides, but the intention is to demonstrate these are not cavalry for mounted action (except in desperate circumstances). Keen eyes may spot they are on new smaller horses, its not a massive difference, but one I wanted to reflect.

You really do raise the stakes, don't you! Magnificent.

Those look fantastic! Really looking forward to getting these moulded and released!

Fantastic sculpts Clib, I can feel the money burning a hole in my pocket as I type :D
Cheers
Ian
WOW! Indeed. :) So many poses, so much detail. Awesome. <:-P =D>
I really need to sort out all the LoA figures I already have and get a game for them, and get them on the table. Then I can get all these new ones too.
Very nice indeed
Take care
Andy
Wow! Brilliant Clib! Fantastic work sir. 8)
I do NOT need another project X_X ^#(^ [-(

I can't tell you how happy I am to see these. Top work as usual Clib. Can 2016 get any better! :D :D

You do, you really do :D
You can always head up north and see some on the table, probably going to put on a game at the February club day in Whangerei
Cheers

That will be a great treat for them ;)
They are lovely, a must have!! :-bd :-bd
Those are absolutely belting, Clib. :-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd

Crikey, those are magnificent.
Wow! Great stuff as usual. Just the right amount of animation for mounted, and foot command. The French dragoons remind me of the of the drawing, pg. 38 in Osprey's Louis XIV army.

Great job on the "relaxed" pose for the dragoons. Also, even though figures are not side by side, to me there is a significant difference between line and dragoon mounts, something I do not think I have ever seen in 18mm, let alone in smaller scales. Even in 28mm this is not always the case. With the colorful French dragoon uniforms, these will be really fun to paint, and will make a great contrast to French grey and blue uniforms. Maybe these will be ready before the annual Pendraken painting contest?
I will need to give it some thought, but I think I could probably rig up something as a plug bayonet for existing infantry.
(BTW, being really picky here, but did mounted command in the French army have a waist belt for swords like the cavalry, or shoulder sling, or did they just do whatever they wanted to?)

Stunning job Clib, i can see Leon being busy keeping up with orders for these ;D, really looking forward to them.
kev
Wonderful looking figures
Reminder for everyone - order before the prices go up. :) :)
as someone has already said I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER PROJECT though saying that i havealways had a hankering after the LOA period its just a pity no one does 10 mm near me.
=D> :-bd =D> :-bd =D>
=P~
I don't know anything about LoA, I don't play it, but now I want to.
Damn you, Clib.
:-bd :-bd
Most excellent, can't wait to get my mitts on these!
Cheers,
Aksu
Stunning !

BTW. I hope horse holders will be mounted.
Pretty special, almost gets me thinking...
Stunning work, simply stunning 8)
Awesome!
I suppose that means I will have to finish my LoA project this year then lol
Order will be inbound soon!
Wonderful and just what is needed to make the range complete
Just got my armies out to finish off
And ordered another 100 pounds worth
When are the figs out to order at this price?
Thanks leon ans clib

May I be allowed to echo Maciek's plea: mounted horseholders, please. The dismounted ones are more John Ford than John Churchill.
Personally can't answer that John....But a very warm welcome to the forum. :-h

Hello and welcome
Welcome to the forum John.

Welcome to the forum John.
Thanks all. Terribly tempted by the LoA figures. I've hankered after 10mm since I painted the GW Mighty Empires markers for my nephew; maybe erarlier when I sighted the crew of the Revell Mayflower.
LoA range is almost completed, but I need to clarify some things.
Do you plan to do:
- Cuirassiers with breastplate only
- draft horses for artillery (multipose, with 17-18th century harness)
?
