    This is the released mod thread. So when you release these units as a mod, this would fit!

    Very nice. I have a lot of 25mm figs but I wish 15mm was out when I started. 25mm takes up so much space in battles so my battalions are only 12figs.

    Damn, I had a whole bunch (100+) Prussian units fully painted aswell. Sadly the dog got into them and, quite literally, chewed up my entire 2nd Corps.

    I had a bit of a giggle when I read a whole bunch is a 100 figures.

    I've got 3-4000 thousand painted figures at least, with about 20 more added a week. All 25mm plastic.

    The OP's figures are beautiful! Acryllics?

    Wow for 15mm you've done quite a good job on the detail. I'm a fan of 25mm myself. Got a quite an obsession with Austrians in 1798 uniforms going actually..

    Mine never looked anything like these beauties, Gary - you're a master at painting these fellows! I was always in a rush to get mine done so I could send them out to the tabletop to fight! Well, that's my excuse...

    NTW in old school fashion!

    I got into table top battle gaming when i discovered Games Workshop's Lord of the Rings line, but I would've loved if they sold historical miniatures as well. I took a tabletop diorama/painting/gaming course (yeah that's right an actual school class!) a few yeas back and enjoyed it thoroughly. The class was on Antietam, so we painted, made the scenery and then played out the battle(we(students) were like 12-16 yo though, so our instructor dumbed down the rules significantly...oh well).

    Talking of Saxons, my mate painted up Prussians and I did Saxons,Italians and French for a Grossbeeren refight some years ago , Great battle but I lost just as badly as Reynier in 1813.
