Earl of Essex's Regiment

Mainly Renegade minis with a few from Bicorne added for variety - the casualties, kneeling firing and loading with the muskets resting on the ground.  All great figures to paint although there is sometimes (3 of this unit) disfiguring flash on the Renegade faces.

ECW Judgement

Just painted up Redoubt's Gibbet set.  Used a picture from the the Alternative Battle of Worcester as inspiration (as shown in the WI Great Wargames Special).

Blue ECW Regiment

First of many regiments of ECW infantry over the coming year.  Figures are Renegade and flag is from GMB.

ECW Cavalry Unit

Renegade minis. 

These are both my first 28mm ECW cavalry as well as the first 28mm units of any nature I have done.

First ECW 28mm finished

So I have finished them today - pretty happy for a first go at 28mm and also ECW. 

Although there are som many good examples of painted stuff on the various blogs it is not hard to find good looking colour schemes.

And here they are after the army painter and before any highlighting

And they will need this or they would look pretty silly on the base.

ECW temptation

I know I said that next up would be 6mm Napoleonics or ACW.  Well that's what I intended - but .....  I was tempted by these three that have been sitting undercoated looking at me for 3 months. 

They are the first ECW that I have painted - indeed the first 28mm that I have painted.  I got them out of the basement a while ago so that I could experiment.  After undercoating they sat there.

So basecoats have been blocked in and now drying and will give some of the dreaded army painter this evening.  Want to try this because while I had plans to do a three colour method - the sheer size of the project scares me - so I will do some with the army painter and I will try some in three colour and see what looks nicer against the time taken.
