Excellent job of painting and mounting. A bavarian army is very impressive! And Adler has an excellent range of figures.

They are very good. They look less chunky than I remember Adler to be. Great paint job.

Very good. Becoming increasing smitten with 6mm. Particular kudos for the lovely basing.

Love them! I've been a fan of Adler from the very beginning. For me, the comparison photos with the 15mm and 25mm simply reinforce all that I love about 6mm scale. Adlers are my kind of "eye candy".

Very inspirational!!
Oh and the figures look great. I remember Adlers to be big headed, have they changed their ranges??

I am painting quite a number of Adler (WWII and Napoleonics) and really, I have no clue where the myth of the big heads come from. Maybe in the past, but as of 2006, since I started to paint 6mm, I haven't had any feeling of "big head". From my point of view, they are very enjoyable to paint. Basing, now is another damn story…

Thanks for the friendly feedback!

i agree with helmet 101: they dont have a big head, the shako/helmet however is a bit oversized (wich serves me well in terms of battlefield recognition etc)the metal bends not THIS easy and i didnt had a single broken bayonet within 300 Minis!

So yeah -Adler will remain my number 1 choice for 6mm =)

I will finish the rest of the army and will post them here before i send them to the costumer.

Thanks again

Thanks for those pictures. I've admired Bavarian Napoleonics since I saw a battle picture in Wargames Illustrated during the 1980s. Lovely uniforms!
