Sons of the Empire - Part Two

Here are the remainder of the images of my Empire troops. A brief description below each one. As we are now at Level 3 in our COVID 19 alert system, I have returned to work, although many of my colleagues remain working from home - so the office is pretty quiet. Likewise the roads, my normal 60-90 minute commute is only taking 30 minutes at the moment - so a worldwide pandemic is not all bad!

  1. I love the photos of your troops! Very fine collection. You know, the Old Glory figures look quite good. All handsomely painting too. Great stuff!

    1. Thanks Jonathon - yes, Old Glory have some very nice ranges, and some that are a bit average. I was under whelmed when I got my first batch of 1st Edition British Napoleonics - so did not get any more of them - but 2nd Edition are ok - and many of the other ranges - such as the NW Frontier and Boer War etc - are perfectly acceptable. My friend Julian has a large number of Norman/Dark Ages figures by OG and they stand up very well against other, more highly though of manufacturers.

    2. Old Glory has some great ranges in 25mm. Among my favorites are the Spanish-American War and Italian Wars ranges.

  2. A great collection with a nice assortment of units. You really can't fault Old Glory for the breadth of their range.

  5. A great collection Keith, I am not sure I would risk getting all the toys out, I suspect the quartermaster my question where the holiday money went :-)
    Loving the 1890's they are on the list one day in the future.

    1. Good to know Mark.....I was wondering if it might be becoming a bit boring. I have a long weekend off (it's Friday morning here now) so I will try to get some new painting done for my next post.
