I have been waiting for these figures for some time now, I knew they would be good and I can say they are fantastic. They are of course from Westfalia Miniatures, and they complete my 1st Hanoverian Brigade at Waterloo. There were two companies at Waterloo and were under the command of Hauptman von Reden.
They are based individually on 20 mm round bases which is a new step for me in Napoleonic basing. Four figures represent a company. I recently polled my readers for recommendations on how to base figures which I would only ever use as skirmishers. Generally advice broke into two camps: 2 figures on large bases with little dioramas or single basing. I have always wanted to have a go at Sharp Practice from Too Fat Lardies, but have never had any single based Napoleonics, so I said I would give it a go.

Those look great!
Awesome figures and painting!
Very elegant!
They came out very nice. I also like the basing quite a bit. I'll add one off the shots to the Gallery over at Westfalia if that's alright with you. :-)
I think Kawe is justified in posting these on his gallery; they're very nice!
Excellent job John on some great minis!
They really are very nice figures - great detail. You've done a very nice job painting and basing them too.
Cheers,

I don't know if it comes from your painting or your camera (both I think) but they look great! ;=D
