I agree with Roger, and yes, I missed the 'perfect' 25mm figure from
Irregular (Finally saw it on the net  (*but* not the Irregular site))
and
said "That's what I wanted!" but since I already had filled that hole
with an /adequate/ substitute - no sale.

When I redo my (Changing 25mm to 6mm) NKE/foes armies It will almost
certainly be Baccus because the Irregular sites *Still* doesn't have
pictures of what I want (last time I could get on a browser and look)
and
Peter does.  That simple.  YMMV.

[OT!!!! OT!!!!] Anybody want some 25mm NKE's?  Write me off line.  Ral
Partha and Hinchcliffe figures.
