More excellent units. You have really embraced FK&P.  :-bd

Pierre the Shy and I certainly have embraced FK&P  :)

They have enabled us to game a period we have both been wanting to do for a long time

As I think I have said before they are an elegantly simple set of rules that really capture the feel of the period and are a joy to play

They are well supported by Simon & Andrew

We have found that to be very true!

What is now, briefly, the current batch is off the painting rods and ready to be based :)
(Four units of Horse and the remaining senior officers)
The bases have all been painted and labelled and shims added where ECW range officers are on the same base as LOA officers :)

The next batch, 2 units of Foot and 9 Light artillery bases, have replaced them on the painting rods :)
They were undercoated after work this evening before it got too dark :)

Day off today. I pledge to do my damnedest to finish the foederati.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Too late by the time the varnished dried for piccies :(
I'll be out this afternoon at a work Christmas BBQ so piccies will have to wait until tomorrow :-w

Next batch:

  • hats and boots base coated :)
  • two coats on the edges of the sabots and bases :) :)

FWIW I have not been totally lax in progressing the Scots cavalry but between Christmas do's and family matters I haven't had a great deal of time to do much this week.

All seven units have bases painted, figures mounted and have been flocked.

Just need to add 5 cornets and then a coat of matt varnish to hold everything together and do then do labels for them all.

I have even come up with a fictional scenario to blood them in if Paul has time to play over Xmas....and some Royalist dragoons and foot finished.



Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

paulr

I'm sure I can make some time over Xmas :)
I have Parliamentary Dragoons and quite a bit of foot from both sides, I'm sure a temporary label or two will sort the Dragoons out ;)

Next batch:

  • hats and boots high lighted :)
  • wood work started :)
  • metal work on artillery base coated :)

Work BBQ enjoyed :)
