These bring me up to 7 regiments, so just 2 more to do, to complete Rupert's mounted contingent. Now originally Mitch and Neil B were sharing Rupert's infantry between them, 5 regiments each. Neil B though has backed out as he can no longer commit as he has other projects on the go. This would leave us 5 regiments of foot short. Luckily though I managed to pick up 3 ready painted regiments on EBay for a very reasonable price, saves a bit of time in painting them myself when I have the Covenanters on the horizon.
They just required some re-basing to match the rest of the collection. I also added some spare random flags I had left over from Wargames Design. At some point I'll need to pick up a couple of sprues for the remaining 2 regiments.
You are lucky to find ready-painted regiments!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely a bonus for the project
DeleteOh, looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal
DeleteThey look rather nice Scotty - a quick way to add the missing units to the roll call!
ReplyDeleteThe new cavalry look splendid, too!
Cheers Keith, especially when they only cost slightly more than a boxed set
DeleteGood stuff Neil and a boost to the numbers….I wonder if I should develop a more specific target ? I need to look up some OB’s. At the moment I am just panting what I have in the big box. I have a few of the Covenanters to paint up now, they look pretty good and interesting they have got rid of the ‘Porte’ pike men.
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, the benefit of a specific target is it provides something to work to, but I'll still end up adding units I don't need just because I like them. I'm glad the Covenanter sprue did away with the 'Porte' pikemen
