A great bunch of people, with their hearts in the right place.

Kudos.

Watching for a friend... 😁

28mm medieval combat.

With just a few hours to go, Écorcheurs! has been backed by over 400 people!

I am so chuffed at the faith people have put in my project to give them a game they'll enjoy!

So, what's next?

Looks brilliant. What are you using as the baseboard?

Thanks for the plug! Not sure I like the idea of Lord S and Gripping Beast as my 'sugar daddies' though! 🤣😳😂

You've got to get aesthetics right, haven't you, with these periods.

36-man foot, and 24-man cavalry regiments.

Three colours to a regiment.

Flounce coats and full-bottomed perukes.

All the grandeur, arrogance, and elegance of those who bask in the rays of the Sun King, trying not to get burned.

How could it not be splendid? 😁

36-figure infantry, and 24-man cavalry, regiments.

Three colours per regiment.

Flouncy coats and full-bottomed perukes.

All the elegance and grandeur of those baskingin the glorious rays of the Sun King, trying not to get burnt.

How could it not be splendid?

28mm Eighteenth century lancers in pink coats

Two regiments of 28mm late seventeenth century foot.

A regiment of foot fronted by gunsmoke.

28mm imagi-nation the army of the Grand-Admiral Tumbonas de Playas, my imagi-nation force.

Had some friends over the other day, put up the 6'x8'table in the bottom barn, and got the big battalions out again.

It was glorious.

Glorious!

.. to be fair that joke is as old as some of the sources I read.

I have my moments...

Only if he's in a hurry to finish his round...

Aren't drones supposed to deliver themselves...?

🤣😂

A model of St Albans' clock tower.

With the success of the Écorcheurs! Kickstarter (what do you mean you haven't pledged yet? www.kickstarter.com/projects/gri... - go, on. I'll wait.) I'm definitely cracking on with my 1st St Albans campaign expansion. @sabotag3d.bsky.social printed this gorgeous clock tower, a centrepiece.

They are absolutely compatible with Antediluvian, and both ranges fit nicely, size-wise, with Front Rank.

Well, the rules would be...

I was going to suggest that...

Front Rank from Gripping Beast (of course!), Antediluvian, and Claymore Castings.

There are also very nice fourteenth-century stls coming out of Reconquer Designs.

Cheers for backing, and the support!

Brilliant! Thanks so much for your support!

Some might say that was still a bargain price! 😉🤣😔

Superb!
