ECW Parliament green regiment of foot

Over the last week I completed my third regiment of foot for my Parliament army. I need this unit and one more for my MayDay game. I decided to do these guys in hunter green tunics with buff facings because I like them. Not sure if there were any green coat regiments left by 1651, when New Model units were mostly in red coats, but who knows? These are yet more Warlord plastics, funny how I don't seem to get tired of assembling and painting them.

I think I have settled on running the battle of Inverkeithing (Covenanters vs New Model Parliament in 1651, following Dunbar) for my MayDay game using Warhammer ECW. I can do it a 1:20 or so figure scale.

Dragoons

I just finished a unit of Parliamentary dragoons, I wanted to do Okey's but I don't know anything about their colours. So they will generic- will have to come up with a guidon of some sort. These are converted Warlord musketeers, firelock party and cavalry. Turned out okay, not as nice as the dragoon models purpose made, but I have lots of material to work with so wanted to give them a try.

Next up: I have just cleaned and primed a Corvus Belli 15mm Early Imperial Roman DBA army. Nice figs, but it took longer to clean and assemble those than a box of 28mm Warlord plastics!

New Model Army pike and shot regiment

Another pike and shot regiment for my New Model Army came off the line this week. The highlight in the unit is the nice preacher model from Warlord games alongside of the command. The figs are all Warlord except for the command which are mostly Foundry. I am still enjoying this project and the painting, but there is quite a way to go yet. Sorry for the pics, very dark today now that winter has arrived.

ECW firelock party and the man himself

I completed another unit for my late Parliament ECW army, this is a company of firelocks (musketeers) ready to storm, well, .... something. Warlord figs, with command and a couple of conversions. These guys all have the same body with 2 arm variants, plus of course the obligatory selection of hats. There is also Ollie himself cheering the lads on.

Yes, I know the lighting is shite. However I don't have photo blind and no sunshine in Edmonton today.

Next up: should be those picoarmour Brits based and ready to be painted....
