As anyone who has worked on these figures will know, even unpainted the eyes on these figures are huge. They are just sculpted like they are startled. I tried to get them down smaller but they still need some work. The close ups of the eyes make them look like they can see the future so I will probably go back and try to reduce them somewhat.
Despite that I would recommend them to anyone looking to get into the era of the WSS as Wargames Factory has complete set of infantry, cavalry, and artillery for this era. No figure is perfect and people have raised issues with them but for me the only drawback is the eyes and that can be overcome with painting. These are a nice solution to getting a lot of figures of this era done for a good price so check them out.
The plan for this project is three more infantry battalions of this size, one cavalry unit, and a unit of artillery. The other units will be different French regiments that were involved in the WSS.The long term goal is to have a matching set of British and Allied units to show the diversity of uniforms in this Old World conflict that is unknown to many in outside of Europe.
Great work Kevin, most impressive. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Michael. These are one group of figures that are fun to paint and look good when ranked up. It is a nice change of pace from single figure displays. I appreciate your comments and greetings to the Queensland IPMS group.
