The eyes don't have it (and a neigh)

The poll is closed and it is a narrow win to those who advocate dispensing with ocular detailing. To be honest, I'm still not 100% certain that I'm going to listen to the people as a sizeable and persuasive minority have argued otherwise, and one can't be the tyrant of one's own Natholeonic Empire without doing as one pleases. I have the rest of the Achaeans on the paint tray at the moment and hope to have them complete by next week. As the finishing touches are applied I'll eye up a final decision.
Thanks to everyone who voted, commented here or on TMP.

Just to prove that I have no stickability whatsoever, I painted up the first figure in next year's project - an honourable but uptight ECW Roundhead:

'Bah! Christmas is the work of the Devil!'

'Folk dancers!? Has God abandoned this land?!'

This was an experiment with painting the Foundry figures and I wanted to see how well I could differentiate a dun horse with a buff coat. I think I managed it. The mental thing is that I didn't even quibble about painting eyes on this figure. My whole issue with painting eyes is the impending eye-pocalypse that is painting up two whole ECW armies. Yet I did this without thinking - even the horse has eyes! This does not bode well for my sanity in the year of the buff coat that is 2015...

OK, back to the Achaeans.
