A few more additions for Marston Moor

After finishing Rupert's Blewcoats last week I decided to complete the last of the 5 regiments I was down for, for Rupert's command. So Henry Tilliers' regiment was turned out. Went for quite a dark green coat on these guys. There was a slight delay in getting them finished as I realised I didn't have the correct flag for them and had to wait for an order from Wargames design.



Quite happy with how these have turned out. Shame the rest of the army is at the club, so no group photo. In other news, Dave mentioned he has completed another Royalist regiment of foot. This brings us up to 7 of the 10 for Rupert's command. 

After painting the last 2 Royalist regiments, I returned to the Covenanters. Another grey coated regiment turned out for the game. Just 5 more of these to go. Again the flag is from Wargames design. I also finished off another mounted officer.



So these bring the painted figures to just under 85% of those required. I've got another Coventanter regiment prepped to paint with a unit of Scots cavalry and the Commanded shot for Rupert's command.

What is left to paint? by my reckoning, 3 Royalist regiments of foot, 1 Royalist commanded shot and they are complete. 5 Scots Covenanter regiments of foot and 3 Scots horse regiment, 2 Parlaimentarian horse regiments and 2 commanded shot. Then a few commanders and some casualty markers. Not bad after 8 months work.
