I have been trying different ways of lining these figures.
These were lined as follows:
A - Nuln Oil
B - Vallejo dip (figure actually dipped into the wash)
C - No lining
D - Oil pin wash

Which do I prefer, I am not sure, as yet, I now need to do some dry brushing and finishing off before I make my final judgement. I might try applying the Vallejo with a brush as well.

Thanks Guys.
Here are Howard's Hoards en masse, these were the left overs from his foray into28mm modelling.
Bases painted but still to add grass and flags.

Maybe something Waterloo related, I was wondering about one of the farms as a backdrop - La Haye Sainte or La Bell Alliance?

At the moment the allotment is calling!

Very nice Dave.
That reminds me, I'll bring in the Linka plans of La Haye Sainte for you to have a look at on the playday.

Working on it,
Howards Dregs now added to the remnants of Sir John Moore's Army.
Then probably some of the Chosen Men, yes Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles.
