Hi Simon,

What manufacturer are they?

I'm building 2 BG's of Louis XIV... let's see if I can get 2 BG's done by the time you've done an entire army :)

Ha ha. I DO follow your blog, and I probably did read it but lost the memory in the great overwork of my brain over the last month :)

They do look nice, but I'm afraid my buying new armies may be dead in the water for several years :(

Looking forward to the finished product - you're already beating me on the army vs 2 BG challenge :)

what a wonderful job you have made of these. Everything about them is impressive. In the time you have taken to do these I have painted the shields of 48 Seleukid pikemen...

Simon,

They truly are awesome! A fantastic paint and presentation job - like everyone else on this forum, I don't know how you can produce such a high quality product in such a short timescale.

I'm really looking forward to seeing them at the weekend and the main reason I don't want to face them is they'll put my Japanese to shame! Now I wish I'd brought my Anglo Dutch cos they would have looked as nice! :lol:

Your table will be easy to find as it'll be surrounded by hordes of drooling FOGR players!

See you Friday.

Don
