Musketeers completed

It took about a week (on and off) to complete these guys. They have been based to 'old school' style which is just plain green paint without flock or texturing. I quite enjoyed painting them actually, and its a pity I didnt paint up two more battalions since my little army is likely to be crushed by superior numbers.

The flag is the old Gateshead coat of arms the motto "caput inter nubila condit" - usually translated as "it's head is hidden in the clouds" (it is actually taken from a section in Virgil's Aenid)

  2. Very nice Ken. Like the flag as well! Looks like we may be marching into battle side by side..

    Hadn't spotted these posts for some reason. Think maybe I didn't have the Follower thing set up correctly but fixed now.

    Maybe the WD3 game will be an annual affair so we get to paint more next year!

    See you next week
