I have posted some pictures of some spare, partially painted and leftover Connoisseur Miniatures 25/28mm Napoleonics in response to some questions about the range in another thread today. link Click on the link to my blog and then click on the pix to enlarge the view. You will find pix of French grenadiers, Dutch Guard Lancers and some unpainted Bavarians for your viewing pleasure. |

Thanks for doing this DAF. They appear to be very simple figures, but at the same time sharply etched like Elite figures. I am not sure how they would take using a wash technique. link I think I may give them a go. John |

Thanks, Der Alte Fritz. The Bavarians look decent enough to me, can't wait til I get my order. |

I have all manner of Connoissuer figures knocking around in "the box". While I have no great desire to produce an entire photo-catologue if anyone has any specific requests then, like DAF, I'll put some pics on my blog.
Having e-mail problems at the moment so its best to contact me via the blog

I'm going to be putting together a Bavarian division or two soon so I was very pleased to see some pics of the Connoisseur range. Thanks Jim. |

I have loads of Connoisseur. My first order was during a visit to the Wargames Holiday Center in the 80's with Peter Gilder. To date, they're still my favorites. |

Wow. The Wargames Holiday Center was around in the 1980s? I've always wanted to visit, but it's a long commute from San Francisco. That's a great advantage the English have--a manageable size country! |

John,
I am using your wash technique on some Brits. I do like the various faded jacket look. I'll have to post some photos some time. I do have a battalion of Conn. Bavarians painted up, and one battalion of French as well. These were my first units when I got into gaming 20+ years ago, and I still have those two. |

What I like in particular about Connoisseur is the campaign look and variety of figures in that motif. I've got a lot of 'scruffy' looking units in all manner of headgear, gourds hanging instead of canteens, etc, etc. Truly veteran appearance. And they mix well with Elite Miniatures. I'm not a huge fan of all their cavalry, but for French infantry on campaign, Connoisseur is my favorite. Paulie |

DAF,
If you have any Connoisseur just collecting dust, I'd be willing to negotiate a price for any French. Paulie |
