Last bits for Marston Moor

As I get closer to the Border Reiver show, it was time to finish off the last bits and pieces for the game and give the game a run out to iron out the rules. So I'll be popping down to the club later to get everything set up with Mitch.

On checking the OOB's I decided to add 2 more officers to the Parlaimentarians, which will help get their larger army on the move. The 2 figures are just leftovers from the project. One is from alternative armies while the other is a plastic warlord figure, one of the better sculpts.


The other additions are a pair of wagons/carts to add a little normal life to the villages on the edge of the battle. The horse drawn wagon is an old model from Essex miniatures, while the ox cart is from Warrior miniatures. It was just a simple case of re-basing both models. 


I've also dug out a couple of villagers that i'll try and get painted up over the next couple of days.

  1. Nice little extras Scotty....I always like to have a few non playing figures dotted around the table and you can never have too many officers!

  5. Littel extras on the table always help to sell the overall 'look.' and this post shows that I'll leave comments on posts that don't feature Quar, thus sealing our online friendship. 😁😆
