Wow nice, any tips on painting these...found AndyMac guide, so will start painting soon. 

Yeah, use a small brush and some paint

Seriously, you can't go much wrong with Andy Mac's guide. My painting is very similar, except I tend not to highlight quite as much as he does (and you can tell the difference!) What I mean by that is that the crossbelts for example are just white, Andy would have used grey then white.

Colour wise, undercoated in Black, the jackets are Vallejo (VJ) Dark Prussian Blue followed by VJ Prussian blue, the skin tones are the Foundry skin palette with the palest generally just flicked onto the nose tip and the cheekbones, the white is some old GW grey (Elf grey?) and then white and the yellow is VJ yellow ochre highlighted with VJ flat yellow I think. No trick to it, just neat and tidy slow and steady.

The neat, tidy and consistent approach when on the gaming table always works for me.

Thanks for the info, just starting painting mine (after a several years break) must admit it, I managed quite well.  Nowhere as good as yours yet, but I'm sure it'll come back to me...like riding a bike.

What colour did you use for your Jager jackets? 

I'm finding alot of my paints have dried up and I now need glasses aagh!  Glasses are on order...

Very nicely done Gav - that yellow is top-notch...always one of the harder things to get 'right' 

What base size are you using?

Stuning miniature paint 

Those are absolutely grand!

Very impressive 

Lovely!

they're lovely. I have had the privilege of seeing Gavin's men close up and they are every bit as good in real life

Been a while, in fact so long the forum's warning me in red writing that this topic's old!!

Got these little chaps painted up yesterday.

looking good

Nice work sir! 

Excellent !!
Cheers - Phil.

Darn fine markers!!

They look really good Gavin, nice and crisp.

What rules are the triangular markers for? And what size are they along an edge? I was trying to do some square 20mm ones but found it all a bit cramped with the casualty figure and the numbers.

Hi Fred, the markers are for anything really, but British Grenadier which we're trying on Saturday uses Disruption Points on a scale of 0-3 before "real" casualties are taken, so I made them for that. The triangles are cut up left over mount board and were done quite roughly (I'm surprised they turned out as I basically freehanded the first one!) and are 1" sides. As you can see it's tight to get some of the figures on, but I think I measured every type of casualty figure I had onto the base and they all just fitted.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Fred, I did mine like this : MARKERS

I chose green / yellow / red   to denote 1-2-3, and then did British / Hessian / American, gonna do some militia and French next.

I think using little cork pieces works well as well, on small bases with say 1,2,3,4 pieces denoting hits / disruption

Happy New Year Gamers

Hi,
What sort of product do you use to realize your bases? Do you use pre-cut bases?
BH62

After a sh*t job which just sucked all enthusiasm out of me, I'm now back to doing more hobby stuff again. I had a delivery from Andy Mac back end of last year which I've only just got based up in preparation for a game we're going to be playing in a couple of weeks for my Birthday.







And a shot of my half of the collection so far.
