Cant wait to see how these lead people look ready and based!

Also love the way you've done the highlights, especially on the jackets. Really makes them pop up!

Agreed!

These are coming along really nicely, I'm jealous of your speed and detail.

Have you a particular ruleset/game in mind for them or is this a commission?

Hi MMCV,

Thanks for your kind words. These are entirely for my own collection - I used my commission money to re-invest in Pendraken.

The rules I plan to use are Its Getting A Bit Chile by Graham Evans "Trebian" who is also on here. They are the rules linked on the Pendraken website at the top of the range page. I highly recommend them - there will be a review posted The Wargames Website shortly as a freebie article. You can also ( and I own) use Bloody Big Battles by Chris Pringle who has very recently reviewed his draft scenario for Tacna as poart of our discussion on The Wargames Website and has provided alot of very helpful information.

Another 60 done. These were a bit of an experiment but they look ok at wargames distance - you can still tell what they are I think!?

Ill start the basing for the Chileans over the weekend.

They look very well indeed.

I remember seeing the IGABC rules recently, be interested to see how they turn out. I'm a fan of BBB myself, they would work well too.

I really like the IGABC rules - but I've only read through them a couple of times so I'm looking forward to actually playing through them soonish.
