Well somebody has to carry the bags Sir!
Some AB British Line from Picton's Division The 88th or Connaught Rangers supported by the 45th behind The 88th includes the AB British casualty set and is clearly taking casulaties from enemy fire. Some of the combatants decide discretion is the better part of valour :( And where do you think you are going? :? well somebody has to carry the bags sir :oops:

nicely done. Adds a bit charecter to an otherwise long red line

Love the look of massed units on the wargames table. Especially when casualty figures are mixed in as effectively as you've done here. :D Nonetheless close-up photography tends not to flatter your figures which are painted more for gaming and en masse photography as opposed to close-ups. :? Very nice basing as well. Would love to see more photos of your battlegrounds. :wink:

Nonetheless close-up photography tends not to flatter your figures which are painted more for gaming and en masse photography as opposed to close-ups. Confused I'd disagree with that statement - I think they look great, especially when you consider the little buggers are only 18mm tall. Thank you very much for posting Valleyboy - these are really nice little chaps and I very much like the casualty figures - I might well buy a pack of those myself! Malcolm

Superb VB, love them. I cant paint 15s anymore, my eyes struggle with 28mm .

I think BK is probably correct in his suggestion that 15/18mm figures shouldn't be photographed closely. I just did it on this occasion to show a sort of "within battalion in gaming vignette" Optimum distance is probably the back battalion in line in the first picture above I'm ashamed to say I've amassed around 9000 15mm Napoleonics over 25 yrs BK :roll: I once stuck them on a table just to see the effect,(it was more than a year ago and have since aquired more :oops: ) a few pics are attached below there are a few others here as well on WD3 if you are a glutton for punishment forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=481" target="_blank">http://wdlovesme.19.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=481

I think I will give up, plan on you retiring and get you to paint all my figures. I was going to paint tonight but now I'm too embarrassed to even try. :( At least I can cook better than VB. Off to make a tiramisu for our practice dinner! :D Ants
