25th (Grand Dutchy Of Hess) Division 1870

[O Dinas Powys]

Very nice 

HRH (didn't notice the flash at the end of his sword until now-D'oh!)

  Bend it to the side, paint it red and pretend it's a cunningly modelled blood splatter from him gutting some poor foot-slogger! 

Cheers!

LIKE.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Thank you.

[cameronian]

Lemmey isn't the dirt under his fingernails a little too dark for Hesse ?

(With apologies)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ah but he's in Lorraine where the earth is a yellow ochre colour! 

[mollinary]

But in August 1870 it was very hot and dry, so surely the grass should be more yellow and brown?...

Mollinary

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

  In the uplands it had been wetter, honest! 


And I'm not rebasing 6 corps of troops... 

[Hertsblue]

Well, you could do the labels at the same time. 

[mollinary]

Oh -  and didn't he have a beard?

Mollinary

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Probably... Not got a source for him!

[Dave Fielder]

Just noticed the circular bases ... how do they work, and for which rule set? I do Volley and Bayonet which your basing seems to represent.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Dave,
The circular bases are casualty markers for Black Powder, (which is flavour of the year at my local club) with unit number and 1,2,3 S (for shaken).
I also have the units on separate data sheets for V&B for their casualties too when I get a game of that in (and that's why every base has the hated labels).
