English civil war

 


So, the time may finally have come for me to tackle this project. So far it has languished on a shelf in the garage gathering dust. However a recently posted YouTube video by a local gamer has inspired me to at least look at what I have and to catalog my unpainted collection. Make no mistake about it this is a list of unpainted, still n sprues and desperately in need of a good dusting and washing. So braving the the cold garage and seemingly even colder floor (I really should have put something on my feet) I rescued all that I could find and retreated with them to the relatively warmer basement.

At some point I purchased to Battalia box sets, one being the Covenanters the other just a generic Royalist/Parliamentarian force. To these base sets I have, over the years, added a lot of extra boxes.

Covenanters

  • 4 Pike & shot regiments [160 figures]
  • 1 Scottish Lancers cavalry [12 figures]
  • 1 Scottish light cavalry [12 figures]
  • 1 Dragoons [12 cavalry/12 dismounted] 
  • 1 Frame gun
  • 1 Priest

Marquis of Montrose

  • 1 Montrose Irish [24 figures]
  • 1 Highland clansmen [19 figures]

 Generic

  • 4 Pike & shot [160 figures] 
  • 12 Firelock figures
  • 6 Cavalry regiments [72 figures]
  • 1 Cuirassiers regiment [12 figures]
  • 1 Dragoons [12 cavalry/12 dismounted] 
  • 6 Saker guns

Personalities/generals

  • Prince Rupert (R)
  • Oliver Cromwell (P)
  • Earl of Essex (P)
  • Marquis of Montrose (R)
  • 3 Mounted officers

plus a few extra figures

400 foot [2000 points]

132 cavalry [1320 points]

7 artillery [210 points]

10 Mounted command [100 points]

That would be 3630 points on a target of 3000 points for this years AHPC !!! 

Not gonna happen.

    Painting their blackened armour and buff coats should go a long way towards getting them done!

    But they would enable you to complete the alphabet challenge! 😜
