The castings are clean nicely cut, by which I mean creases folds etc have some depth which makes painting very straightforward. I would place them halfway between Old Glory and Perry's in that respect but the thing that catches the eye is the tremendous variety in the figures you get. In a battalion of thirty six figures you'd be lucky to find more than two the same, quite unknown in my experience. They were a joy to paint. I got them as a pre order so though they may not be on the website yet contact these guys and I'm sure they will sort you out.
I have been collecting French Revolutionary figures for twenty years or so and I'm pretty excited about this range as the manufacturers do seem to be concentrating on expanding throughout the period, keep it going chaps.
Here are some pictures:
Another of these and one Austrian line to paint up.

A great variety of poses as you say, which is very noticeable, even when en masse. Great paint job on the striped cloth:)
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve, shit man you were quick off the mark with a comment!
DeleteDave.
Nicely varied, lovely painting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Wonderful work - those stripes are most impressive!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive Dave. Must start on mine but side tracked by Sikhs! This entire range is a beauty to paint.
ReplyDeleteAlways fancied the Sikh war Colin, very pretty but must restrain myself!

Terrific looking unit and I love what you've done with the clothing colours and design. Inspirational. If I didn't have so many other armies on the go I've leap right into the period.
ReplyDeleteVery kind mate, the period is just different enough from Napoleonics but still really colourful.
DeleteGreat work Dave. The variety of poses is top notch
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty.
DeleteDave,
ReplyDeleteThey look the business! Do you have any Elite 1796 range? I have a bunch and I just wondered how they compare. This range looks very tempting and full of variety.
thanks
Mark
