Title: My first FPW
Post by: Jerrylee on 12 February 2012, 04:04:17 PM
I have asked for plenty of help from this forum, so I thought I'd post some photos to show the help was not in vein  :)
They may not be perfect but I love them!  :D

Well done - really like the basing!   What rules have you decided to use?

Excellent, nice to see bases which match the table as well.  Will we be seeing any of them in the Painting Comp?   :D

Thanks for the great comments :) at the moment the rules I using are black powder and just about to have a go at principles of war that I got dirt cheap from eBay, not the correct basing according to rules but reckon it still be ok?

Not sure I quite ready to enter any painting competitions just yet:)

Great looking armies there, both your FPW and AWI work is really good,

I don't think it's a question of competitive brushwork, my own entry proves that, it's more about being active in and supporting the forum. If you're confident to post in the photos section, unlike a good many of us, then take a good pic of one of your best elements or units and enter it. There's nothing to lose.

As a general principle, provided both sides are based the same way you should be all right - particularly in periods where most of the combat takes place at distance.

Particularly like the cuirassiers, by the way. Always my favorite "heavy mob".  ;)
