Wow! Love the shading on that.

Very cool!

Damn fine job  ......Especially as it's about 7 times life size on my screen.
Love to see that 'in the flesh metal'
Cheers - Phil

Very impressive

Excellent work, very nice!

Very impressive.

Superb! 

Tasty.

Bit nice that. The strongly contrasted shading works soooo well in this scale.

 

A wonderful individual figure - but what would an entire unit painted to that standard look like?

Looking superb

Cheers guys, just going to start priming a few. Not sure about base size as I'm not a gamer, but would like to base them in case I decide to use them in anger. Was thinking 25 or 30mm square, 6 foot or 3 mounted per base giving me 5 bases per unit.
No idea about rules, but they need to be simple and suit solo play.
                      Cheers Billy no mates

F you're only doing 6 per base go with 25mm or even 20mm. Personally I put 8 on a 25mm base to get the close order files look of the period.

Whole units painted to this level will look ace.

30mm squares are a nice size, and should fit the number of figures you are suggesting well. You can always use a few less figures for lighter or skirmishing units.

Square bases will give you a lot of flexibility for choosing a rule set, as square bases and rectangular ones with a 2:1 ratio are both very common, so you can either use your bases as is, or put two together to give a rectangular base.

for my SYW armies, I use 25mmx20mm with 6 minis. ( 25x25mm with 3 horses for cavalry)
Two ( or four ) bases for a unit (it depends of the scale and the minis available/finished)

I game with Might and Reason ( solo and 2 players) There are others rules ( I didn't like Maurice very much, but it could be ok, each his own taste  )

I have found square bases work well with Maurice, Field of Battle 2, Minden Rose and Black Powder.

Great painting Al, looking forward to seeing more. I also dont game as yet, i use 30x30s 6 inf and 3 cav per base, look nice and seem compatible with various rules.
