The reason i asked is that I said to Steve that I would like to consider having a six pounder made for the Honved. <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />GHGrey Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560931087301462624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-72933547018700714062017-05-05T04:43:34.410-07:002017-05-05T04:43:34.410-07:00Right now, I'm waiting for the Honved artiller...Right now, I'm waiting for the Honved artillery that I saw sometime in the fall to be released, so I'm not using anything for guns right now. However, I have some Northstar Austrian 1866 artillery that I am very tempted to use if the delay goes on too much longer--at least for the guns, if not the gunners, just to keep making some progress.

More than I knew! <br /><br />I good-naturedly chided Steve for delivering coals to Newcastle by releasing the newest Napoleonics while the rare Hungarians were hanging fire--a point of view that I have the luxury of holding given that I'm not running a business. Anyway, I think if all these new figs come out in a bunch, it will make quite a splash and worth the time!<br />Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-68573713430165899402017-05-02T16:22:01.656-07:002017-05-02T16:22:01.656-07:00In addition, there will be more National Guard min...In addition, there will be more National Guard miniatures in the future.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />GHGrey Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560931087301462624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-10321951506180999572017-05-02T11:21:01.772-07:002017-05-02T11:21:01.772-07:00The range is developing well, dont forget that Ste...The range is developing well, dont forget that Steve has a Bihar militia fig in kiltcash strapped gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981185159228928578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648721189080574501.post-80363403734016453912017-05-01T19:02:16.759-07:002017-05-01T19:02:16.759-07:00Hello, Iain, thanks for dropping in.

I asked for the mounted officer to be modeled on the illustration on page 53 of the Somogyi book, only with uncovered shako. Should be pretty versatile and also should be a striking fellow, once painted.

I was planning on doing a mounted officer too. Be interested in hearing all about it through Geoff. I will let Geoff know to chat with you on my commissions and future commissions.
