To prove that I can actually finish a wargaming project by myself, I thought I'd post evidence in the form of my Marlburian armies. Put together for the Black Powder rules, the end result was that the Franco-Bavarians and Grand Alliance each fielded 12 battalions, 6 regiments of horse and 4 guns per side.

Sadly, I sold these figures last year to fund some other project ( Flames of War WWII I think). Happily they live 20 minutes down the road in my wargaming mate John's house, ready to be games with whenever I like. Hurray!
The figures are Lancashire Games 15mm (18mm). Here are close-ups of some of the regiments.

The new version of the Marlburian project is the Seven Years War Prussians and Austrians, a project that I've bumped up the painting schedule.

That's a nice collection! I'm not sure I could bring myself to sell mine even if it was to a friend down the road!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Al. I have a weird attitude to armies that I build. I dedicate time and effort, reach my goal and then decide it is time to move on to something else. Sometimes I'll play a few games with them before I sell, but generally speaking they look nice in John's cabinet and I have access to them (he gets them at discount because of that) and I don't regret selling. I might feel different if they went to someone and I never saw them again.
