Wow. Simply wow. A labour of years and years. Some may observe other figures to have been better painted, and no doubt they have been, but the mass effect of this splendid collection is nothing short of a complete triumph. 3,000 Old Guard, in all their guises, and conversions to boot. Only a true Grognard could have achieved this – so it does come as something of a surprise that our Grognard is none other than General Picton!

Quantity has its own quality, as always. I love seeing Mr Picton's impressive displays en masse – always makes me jealous |
