Parliamentarian Dragoons
Some rebasing to 3,2,1 method and added minis.. Grey Dragoons based on some info regarding Beretons Dragoons from ‘More like lions than men’ by Andrew Abram, an excellent study of Parliamentarian troops from Cheshire. These to represent a possible look at Capt Bramhalls company c1643 based on documentation in the above fascinating book.. more to come
Dragoons rebased
Perry Miniatures and based in the approved 3,2,1 style (or ‘Ted Rogers basing’ if you will!) Based on Oakeys Dragoons in the cause of Parliament but more to come as they are very useful troop choices in PL, just as they were at the time!
Charles and the Gentleman Pensioners
After a few years off, we got back into 28mm ECW skirmish and dusted off the minis and half completed units as more have now been ordered to expand and improve the factions! Here the Perry’s Currasiers are based to form an Elite Trotter unit for Charles I (Old Glory sculpt). So much lead to add ..
‘The King and the Cause!
The Church and the Laws!’
Lamenting Pikemen?..
Blue coated Pike.. Royalist Ensign can be switched out for someone with more Parliamentarian leanings!
Some more Horse
- Old Glory minis, somewhat inspired by an early 1980s TV show (extra points for the family name)
Royalist Gallopers
Dash and Elan, they charge home with the sword relying on shock and momentum.. let’s hope they keep their discipline in the pursuit!
Parliamentarian Trotters
Old Glory, pistols to indicate ‘Caracole’ ability. ‘Trotters’usually move a little slower in most ECW period rulesets so useful to be able to differentiate
Rebased Horse
Old Glory and Perry miniatures,
Just need to detail the horses on the ‘2’ stand and decide on a Cornet
First 24 point Force (re)based
Consisting of
1 x Gallopers
1 x Forlorn Hope
2 x Shot (1 Veteran)
1 x Veteran Commanded Shot
3,2,1 Basing.. a test unit
A bit of a touch up after being in storage for a few years. Removed from 20×20 square ‘oldhammer’ bases and redone in the suggested 3,2,1 style on 25, 30 and 40mm round bases..
