Hey guys, I managed to finish and based my first ever 6mm wargame units, some troops of the HEIC for my campaign in India, covering the period 1799-1803 Keep an eye out for some excellent flags from Malcolm O'Connor as well. Plenty of photos over on my blog, as always, comments and feedback welcome link Regards J

Great work. Much better painting than I can do in that scale.

I have the same comments as 79thPA!

Very nice figures, especially as mentioned above, in such a tiny scale.

Great work especially for 6mm! I just finished a bunch of Napoleonic War Austrian gunners and would not want to compare them to your little masterpieces

Nice but your painted flags are missing some red bits.

They'll never win a game coz they'll be trippin' over flippin' boulders all day____ ;-)

Jim, If you mean the Union flag they are intended for pre-1801 Regards J

My eyes are watering just looking at these. Quite good, but I would be quite unable at this stage with my eyesight being what it is, I am only able to look at and marvel.

If you mean the Union flag they are intended for pre-1801 Do you mean 1701? Just checking, you might be right after all. I had it in my head that the flag changed around 1701 (Union of the Crowns). I see that the Irish bit didn't come until 1801. It's late and I'm getting old.

very impressive units

Those are gorgeous, James! I look forward to seeing them in action. I trawled back through my own after-action reports and found we fought a couple of HEIC 1803 battles at OWS back in 2016, Laswari: link and Argaum: link May you have as much fun with these as we did!

Top notch! Nothing beats 6mm for that mass effect. Well done again Mike
