Not sure about the cuirassiers - they feel a bit too armoured for my taste.

It's possible but rare for that much tin plate.

Nice work, they look good to me.   

I forgot that the new Polish lancers are empty-handed, so we'll need to sort out some lances for them.  We've got the 30mm pikes for the LOA range, what kind of size would you be looking for?  And yes, you would be the first to show some pics of them!   

[Nosher]

I reckon the 30mm pikes would do the job. I presume this would be at cost or should they be part of the pack? If not it might be an idea to state that lances should be purchased seperately

As it's only 8 needed, we might do them in with the pack.  I'll have a chat with Dave.

All done

Just flocking to do but with two matches this week it will have to wait until the weekend. Pics to follow when thats done.

Leon, any chance of those lances (28) being posted on at some stage please?

Yeah, considering how expensive it was to equip a man with full harness, you've got the emperor's treasury on horseback there. I would have thought most cavalry of the period would be more like the ECW horse (in fact the two should be interchangeable). Like the painting, though. Wish I could get the lines that acurate.

So i managed to finish these and now have a few re-inforcements to add which I was too weak willed to resist... Damn you Leon/Dave

Now based and primed are:

Two more units of Reiters and an infantry tercio added as well as two Swedish Brigades and a battalion gun for the enemy which rounds both armies off to 400points.

Already started - the nine stand German Tercio

[Nosher]

Tercio finished along with two four stand reiter units

Family BBQ tommorow after Cricket so no basing this weekend, however no matches this week so with a bit of luck these will be fully ready for a battle Friday night

Excellent mate - I'm really looking forward to seeing these in action 

Fingers crossed you get some sun tomorrow then as well!

Hallelujah!

Managed to finish these even though I had to squeeze in two rearranged fixtures due to the weather! Might treat myself to a beer or six for getting these done to schedule
