Highly unlikely to ever rebase them now though.<br /><br />What you've done here is really inspirational - maybe it's time for another 2mm pike and shot collection...Coopdevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219253658967958289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-60808417089243104392009-06-07T21:27:18.610+01:002009-06-07T21:27:18.610+01:00What rules do you use for these guys?

I'm working on my own armies for this period and not sure to go with mini (20x30) or maxi (60x30) versions.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309069824997740570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-40392556112502304832009-06-07T20:37:10.634+01:002009-06-07T20:37:10.634+01:00wow, look at all the men, it sooo cool.

I am now very tempted to try ECW in 2mm after seeing this lot. Yes, I am easily led!Ruaridhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003128932063213463noreply@blogger.com
