TOPIC: £50 order - What you gonna get? |
Standard User Posts: 47 lukicpz35t 12th Feb 2021 01:12:45 Let's brighten up the tone. I'm curious to know how you people plan to spend your £50. In 2020 I painted mostly TYW and Napoleonics. I'll post some pics sooner or later (I want to complete some Austrian dragoons first). I'll use my £50 to buy some Napoleonic Spanish. Infantry with hat, some with bicorne, grenadiers and flags. I already have plenty of French, I'm almost done painting a couple of Portoguese Regiments, and have a pile of British to go. By June I should have plenty to figh the Peninsula War.

I think instead I will get the polemos starter pack and just try and base them according the Hail Caesar recommendations to get started! |

Standard User Posts: 4 Random3D 12th Feb 2021 09:49:14 I'm building all the units present at Quatre Bras (and some extras). Pre-Covid, I acquired some French and most of the British (and Brunswickers), So my next order will be British Guards, and Dutch-Belgian and Nassau infantry and artillery (and filling some of the French cavalry gaps). Actually, the £50 limit is a good thing - it will encourage me to not overorder and paint in manageable quantities. |

Standard User Posts: 13 mjy0628 12th Feb 2021 10:29:48 I am actually new to the hobby so pretty excited that they are finally opening up the cart soon. Looking to start out with a Union ACW army and a few packs of Union infantry. Hopefully, they can process the smaller order fast and I can follow up with the same order for the confederate side and actually be able to use them. :)

I'm getting some generic 18th century troops to bolster up my GNW armies. The combination of max £50 order and trying to avoid customs and taxation makes building up my order a bit of a strange game, I'm probably going to end up making two or three separate orders at around £16 as paying extra postage for each is going to end up less expensive then getting a £40ish package get picked up by customs. |
Looks to me like I shall be going for Pony Wars stuff. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 87 I am a spambot 20th Feb 2021 07:11:49 Just a bit of army maintenance for me. Bizarely enough, what I want most urgently is some more ACW flags. I also want some Nizam-i Cedit infantry for when I want to use my Mameluke/Ottoman Napoleonic army against a British invasion of Egypt. (Napoleon didn't come up against the Nizam-i Cedit but the British invasion of 1807 did, I believe.) I also ordered a bit of Irish infantry to form the core of an Irish Confederate army of the Great Rebellion when they aren't doubling up as part of Montrose's army. Oh, and I ordered a couple of packs of Gaullish infantry to continue my slow project of replacing my Gauls (which are the really old, 3 to a strip type). |
