ECW on the blocks

[Westmarcher]

Very nice paint work and composition - plus what a great touch the smoking guns are! I have been considering collecting ECW (BCW?) again after selling my 6mm armies many years ago. Was going to go 10mm (Pendraken, of course) then swung to 15mm but this (damn you, Sirrah!) has swung me back to 10mm! 

[Poggle]

Lovely stuff! 

[d_Guy]

You continue to turn out some really beautiful work, Tarty.
Well done, well done indeed! 

[Matt J]

excellent stuff. cinematic basing!

ECW is looking more and more likely for my next project

Fist bump, brah!

Fist bump, brah!

We will get our respective English and Scots war of the 3 kingdom forces on the table one day D Guy. In our case its a matter of finding a set of rules we are happy with (hopefully FK&P) and the time and $$$$ to progress the project as we are looking at 2000+ figures all up 

As Paul has more time and infinitely more painting skills than me we have a long standing agreement that we are both happy with whereby he paints figures for me and l will pay for the equivalent number of figures of his chooaing.

[paulr]

Sounds like I'm going to be busy

The challenge is finding a set of rules that our regular group is happy with and willing to add to our current dozen or so 'regular' rules

FK&P certainly looks very promising but we will need to have a couple of test games using cardboard markers to confirm one way or the other
Baroque is a good set of rules but wasn't quite compelling enough at add to the list of 'regulars'

[Tarty]

I'm impressed at how you make brown look interesting.

Haha... Yes. Took a little experimenting to get the balance right (well for my eye anyway hehe) Trying to make the scale work for me. Wanting the 'massed' look limiting the colour pallet and encouraging tonal repetition seems to help out with achieving that. May not be to everyones taste but it is less work  ..... 
Thanks for all the encouraging words chaps...still very new to this scale. Enjoying it immensely.

It is certainly to my taste

Very nice work indeed Tarty....you captured the mass effect really well.

I guess if you're doing Scots Covenanters it becomes a case of "any colour so long as its hodden grey with a blue bonnet" 

the question then becomes what shade is hodden grey......I'm only talking about uniform colours here gentlemen!! 

[Speirs101]

Fantastic looking regiments,you have giving me a lot of inspiration 

[Dave Fielder]

Those hand painted flags are very well executed, primary colours for the regiments are also very striking. Well done indeed.

[Leman]

Charles I was also very well executed, or is that not the kind of block being referred to.

Perhaps, but at least his head lies with the rest of him, which is more than you can say for Oliver, King Slayer!

[Tarty]

Had some time lately to finish the baggage for this project. Can tell the Roundhead camp...it's the one with the preacher loose in the bottom paddock 

[d_Guy]

Absolutely stunning, Tarty. Bravo!

[Tarty]

Some generals and leading trouble makers... also painted up

[Leman]

That is lovely work. The buildings are particularly fine. Out of interest, where are they from?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Beautiful work
