It is a period with good looking units,  but they are a lot of work to paint.

At the risk of spoiling you!!!  ;D

Here are a couple of units of Dragoons, these are based on 40x20mm bases, mainly so that the figures can be assembled into to different combinations to represent different types of units. So you can have just the 2 foot bases to represent a Forlorn Hope, you can have 2 foot and 2 mounted as dismounted Dragoons, putting the 2 foot and 1 mounted on a sabot base, leaving the other mounted stand as a marker for the horses. Or you can use all 4 mounted stands as a mounted unit.

These are painted as Clare's dragoons, part of the Jacobite army, buff coats, yellow facings.



The second unit in grey with white facings, represent Conyngham's.


And both together


Both still need flags adding.

It's all part of Leon's plan for world domination!

Fortunately these are the last of these for a while, so you will be able  to bolster your resolve. ;)

Thanks Terry.

More stuff for FKaP - had a rummage in the lead mountain and found a bunch of ECW figures. These were mainly bought for building units for Irregular Wars, but no harm in using them for what they are designed for.

Mainly lots of dismounted dragoons, after rebasing loads of figures onto 40mm squares, with FKaP I realised that I need figures on 40x20mm bases so that they can represent Forlorn Hopes. For FKaP I have gone for one 40x40mm base represents 1 hit for a unit, to give a quick visual representation of the size of the different units. As its a gridded game the difference in frontage between 80mm and 120mm units doesn't matter. And as my 80mm ones are going on Warband sabots which are 100mm wide there is even less difference.

Lots of dragoons, mostly Pendraken, and some others, which could be Old Glory, with a stand of Cuirassiers at the back, I'm pretty sure these are Irregular.


These have been done in semi-uniform colours (at least for jackets). These figures were so quick to paint in comparison to the LoA ones.
