More Cavalry done

I managed to get around to completing the last 2 regiments I required for the Northern Association. Bringing them up to the required strength of 9 regiments for Marston Moor. It also means that is a second army completed for the Marston Moor project. 


Both of these regiments are put together with the figures from Alternative Armies. They are all, except 1, a part of their latest releases. There are 3 different troopers and a command set. Unfortunately they do not produce a cornet figure yet. I would also like to see a few figures in the soft hats to mix in for more variety.

The next regiment I completed was Rupert's Lifeguard. These are a mixed batch of figures. I will in future when Steelfist Miniatures are back in production pick up one of their lifeguard sets as they look rather spiffing in their fancy armour and headger. But these will do for now.



The last 2 figures I completed were 1 each from the Commanders sets. On the left is Sir Thomas Fairfax, while on the right is Charles I, think I will actually use him as the Marquis of Newcastle. These are nice castings and paint up really well.



I now have 3 light artillery pieces waiting for their bases to be completed. I've also prepped up some commanded shotte and Dragoons for Rupert's royalists.

  3. Great progress on your Marston Moor project Scotty - the individual command figures are particularly nice.

  5. These are lovely Neil. By the way there are a few packs of Steel Fist ECW cavalry on E Bay. They are cheaper and stops you waiting for the site to reopen
