Hi all
The talented Luis García Balaguer sent me these pictures of his latest vignette using Oniria Miniatures' Cambronne- Merde set, plus some other 28mm figures (looks like Victrix and Perrys)
Hope you enjoy.

Great painting!
As a Frenchman, the story make me proud as it is a highlight in the battle of Waterloo…

"La Garde meurt et ne se rend pas" was certainly what Cambronne shouted to the ennemy but I think "Merde!" is a better story, not unlike "Nuts" at Bastogne!

Outstanding, as usual, reminds me of Bill Horan's vignette style, which is quite impressive at this scale.

Awesome. Oniria, ask Louis how he does that grass!

I've always believed it was Cambronne who shouted "La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas," and the guy next to him said "merde."

Widoson – lmao! That's so hard boiled ranker.

Thanks, stoneman. But it's the only way it makes sense!
