They are a variant on General de Brigade which are a very popular Napoleonic set and having looked around they seem the most suitable rules for what I wanted which was fairly fast play brigade level actions in 28mm. Those pics are of Baccus minis and I have to say they are very nicely sculpted, just a little too small for me :)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />JoshJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09668870425916200557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773812480537683897.post-38590538912948681152009-04-20T22:06:00.000+01:002009-04-20T22:06:00.000+01:00Bloody good 'uns, Josh!

What rules are you planning to use, as I see they are four to a base?<br />I was also interested to see your comments on 6mm figures, as I used to play a little ACW in that scale and was thinking of getting some Baccus.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />MontyMontyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230149195753516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773812480537683897.post-15830837988806917372009-04-17T09:28:00.000+01:002009-04-17T09:28:00.000+01:00Thanks guys!

I have some Civil War music but none of Bobby Hortons, I will check it out.<br /><br />@Steve - Well I am not very keen on hex games either! I used the Army Painter Strong tone mainly as I already had it on hand after using it to paint some Sudanese Mahdists last year. Maybe I will try the lighter tone but in fact I quite like the effect I achieved with the darker stuff. I have my clean looking troops with my 18th Century armies!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />JoshJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09668870425916200557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773812480537683897.post-20443027616450673632009-04-16T12:13:00.000+01:002009-04-16T12:13:00.000+01:00PS. nice painting by the way - but had you conside...PS. nice painting by the way - but had you considered using one of the army painter lighter shades??

If you haven't heard any of them, I urge you to take a chance and get one . . . to me they really have the feel of the period.<br /><br />http://www.bobbyhorton.com/music/<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773812480537683897.post-39485047084217043312009-04-15T20:27:00.000+01:002009-04-15T20:27:00.000+01:00Very nice figures indeed!Very nice figures indeed!Capt Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990089081015713972noreply@blogger.com
