Don't worry Luke - I've emailed you with some suggestions :) Including that they just look coolio anyway 8)
Must admit the picklehalb does look better, but it disappered in the front line in 1916, just after the Somme. But it's your army....
IanS
you are very kind

Looking good so far.
Mad skills! Looking very good Nik, and nice to see a step-by-step like that! I really need to get through the 100+ RPG figs I prepped in order to get through the huge backlog now that we started a new RPG group, so that I can paint more WW2.
How do you do it!!! Fantastic stuff!
Thanks guys - glad you like 'em...

Very nice.

OK, so pickelhaube and tanks, but the tank camo looks brill and it may encourage the commissioner to get into late war as well, especially with 1918 being more open warfare again, eg Great Battles of World War I shows late war Australian Light Horse pursuing a German railway gun - great possibilities.

They even removed their prominent spikes for the early 1915 season - for obvious reasons...
BTT: Those Uhlans look
sehr schneidig (German for "very dashing"). Have to add them on my to-buy list 8)

That way, you can play WWWI as well as getting into VSF. Not a bad thing, IMHO.
