I have now completed re-basing the ECW Cavalry – I have 8 units of 12 generic cavalry, 1 Currassier unit of 12 and 1 Dragoon unit of 12. In total 120 figures – with 24 still to make and paint!!! All Warlords. I don;t think I need anymore!!
I have in the course of doing that done the Artillery crew and Generals – I do need more Artillery – but I’ll pass on getting them at the moment.
So i have moved onto the Foote units – my Foote units are based for Pike and Shotte – but can be broken down for other rule sets – they have 16 Pike figures and 24 Musket figures. I have also got various peasant units and commanded foote units, and of course Dragoons on foot.
This is the first of the larger units completed:
White coated , with full armoured Pike. Like the old Airfix boxes of soldiers you have to get a few boxes of the Warlords figures to be able to craft a cohesive unit – I think you only get 6 or so full armoured Pike per box (cant remember exactly made these about 3 years ago – when they were first out).
Here is another view :
I’ve got 6 of these to do, plus 3 Montrose Irish units. I also have another 4 to paint!!! They are painted generically as I realised I would have to paint both sides!! Before I paused on the ECW, I was aiming to create some units of peasants, to show units of men conscripted but not yet equipped, quite common in the early days.
Well dome your! You are putting me to shame. My EcW minis have been just staring at me since before Christmas!👀
