More dour Scotsmen

The benefits of a little time off, well apart from decorating is that I got a little time to actually get a batch of painting done. This time it is a 3rd cavalry regiment, mainly Warlord plastic with a standard bearer from Alternative armies. These are the first of either 3 or 4 regiments of lancers. There was also an additional brigadier and a 4th Pike and shot regiment. All the flags are from Wargames design.






I've also made a start on the next 2 pike and shot regiments, hopefully I may get them finished over the weekend. I also made some more progress on the hedges as they near completion. I also ordered a 3rd fleece mat for the Marston Moor game. On the gaming front a bit of a disaster as 2 players are down with the lurgy and will not be attending. May just have to abandon the game and set up a set piece encounter with the available players.

  1. Gitta paint whenever you get the chance Neil. The troops look great, even in their dour coats!

    3. Never new you could buy as many different shades. But very little difference at this scale

    1. It does help that they are much easier to paint

    2. And we don't like the word "hammering" associated with Scottish troops either, thanks Jon - as in King Edward the First - "Hammer of the Scots"!

  4. Quite an impressive turnover of units from your production line Neil.
