I like the way the gabion base slots onto the front of the artillery base. Where do those bases come from?

Very nice, lots of character in the painting. Which rules are you basing for?

Are the figure mainly from the ECW range?

these are bases MDF I recut to better integrate with guns .......
the small elements between the gabions are to 6mm, but also very suitable for 10mm

they are designed for very good rule "Tercios" ...... I expected the supplement for the Eastern armies (mainly Polish and Ottoman .......)
yes, it is mainly figurines of ECW and 30YW range, with some of the range "Elizabethan"

indeed, I am inspired by the Battle of Rocroi, but a little smaller format ...... Spanish Tercios then follow

What a joy! Love the close-up views and the basing. So inspirational. Only wish I could paint so well.  =D>
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Wow, lovely stuff and the posing of the bases (not to mention the painting!)  is fantastic.

Absolutely superb.   Wonderful painting but...the bases.   Wow.
So atmospheric.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Hello bradpitre

Very well painted units. This just emphasises why I've never posted a picture of any of my painted figures  :D :D.

In case people were wondering the Tercios rule set is available from here http://elkraken.es/released/en/tercios/. There is also a truncated free version available from this page http://elkraken.es/released/en/game-aids/. Just be aware the free version on Dropbox is in Spanish while the Scribd version is in English. Are you using a smaller base size than the recommended size?

Any news on TB Line?

Cheers

Gosh, those bases in 6mm must be absolutely massive against 6mm artillery.

Hello!!

indeed, free rule "Brevis Editio" http://fr.scribd.com/doc/268954336/Brevis-Editio-Tercios-English is already full to play
Rule "Liber Militum" (period 30YW) guard all the principles and adds the rules of commandments, a random scenarios system and an army mounting system much more detailed with the possibility to customize the units
the first supplement "Kingdoms" (unfortunately only in Spanish for now) adds the ECW periods and nations of the East (Russian, Cossack, Ottoman, Polish, etc ......) with their special rules

I play 10mm, so I reduced the size of the foundations of a tier

80mm x 80mm instead 120mm x 120mm  (Tercios)
80mm x 40mm instead 120mm x 60mm (infantry battalions)
60mm x 30mm instead 80mm x 40mm (infantry companies and cavalry )
30mm x 30mm instead 40mm x 40mm (artillery)

it allows me to play on a table 120cm x 80cm instead 180cm x 120cm

And unfortunately, no news of TB line  :'( :'( :'(
you know everything!!  ;)
