Finally, I am starting to see an army form after 4 months of work!

I have added pikemen.  These are all 15mm Old Glory English Civil War.

I did have to cut the pikes down.  They were 3 inches in length and I reduced them to 2 1/4.

I am continuing with my Old Glory English Civil War 15mm.  I am still not sure how I will mount them.

 I picked up some Essex Prussian Artillery in San Jose and I was excited to get them started. So, again, I continue with my 15mm Army.

 Prussian Jagers.

Small but, growing.

My Prussian Army is growing one painted figure at a time.

I am using the Army Painter dark shade.  Again, I don't see a real big difference between that and the Miniwax Polyshades Tudor color.  I will say it mixes a little better, but that is about it.

The figures are Battle Honors.  I do like the command set of Generals.  Blucher does look decent.  

So, I thought I would add a few remarks on my experience with these two options for "dipping" your figures.  They both are about the same shade when they dry.  I think Army Painter drys a little faster and maybe a bit less sticky in final gloss appearance when it drys. But, honestly I can't see the difference except in the price. The Miniwax is $10.00 and the Army Painter is $30.00. I do appreciate Army Painter bringing a product as such and the other painting products. However, this is too expensive.
