"Eurekas Arquebusiers de Grassin " Topic

Will these fit in with Front Rank sizewise?

They are sculpted in the Foundry and Perry Brothers style, so they aren't as "robust" as Front Rank figures. I personally don't have any problem mixing them, but others might, saying that the Front Rank units had better quartermasters, hence they were better fed.

Since FR doesn't make Arquebusiers de Grassin, nor for that matter does anyone else in the 25mm to 28mm spectrum, you really don't have a lot of choice now, do you? We mix them all up in our games. Just keep the same brand of figures in distinct battalions and you should be OK.

It always helps when the "other" unit is in a different colour of uniform too.

A friend has old Front Rank French infantry (and not redesigned ones) but uses RAFM French & Indian Wars artillerists, and they don't look odd at all even when a gun battery is right beside or surrounded by infantry units.

I have Front Rank and RAFM as well – they mix OK as long as they are not in the same unit, so I suspect the Eureka would mix in as well

Not to mention, with all that colour, the Arqubusiers will stand out from all those white justacorps and no one will even notice

Well I'm looking for figures for a fantasy country anyway.

Unfortunately, Frederick William and I are the same physical build. (Although at least I do not smoke--or beat children or simpletons!)

Oh, Come on, Andygamer! You have often beaten me, a childish simpleton!

But I still don't smoke.

@ andygamer,
you already have the *perfect* 'icon' to personalize your posts on the 'Emperor vs Elector' TMP link
collective blog!
You don't need to have a blog to contribute: send a mail to the blog owner / coordinator TMP link and he will give you a blogger IP allowing to post and comment on the blog (and, I guess, to post comments on any blog).

Personal involvement varies freely from 'lurker' to 'regular poster', with individual contributor but also with time, current main object of interest, mood and pressures from 'The Real World™'. But you are then recorded in the 'links bank', and the blog is a very enjoyable and friendly meeting point for Lace Wars Imagi-Nations Rulers TMP link

Hope you (and other creators of fictitious Lace Wars armies, such as 'The Gray Ghost' TMP link , or units such as Donald Cameron TMP link and Luke Mulder TMP link …) will be interested.

Looking forward for future developments,
Jean-Louis
