Very nice 

Those LoA range figures you have used in some of your command stands don't look out of period and complement the ECW command figures well.

Were Hesilrigges Regiment only standard Swedish horse by the time Cheriton was fought?

[Steve J]

Great work as always

[lowlylowlycook]

Yeah, these meet spec.

[Womble67]

Take care

Were Hesilrigges Regiment only standard Swedish horse by the time Cheriton was fought?

They were Cuirassiers earlier in the war but it seems likely that after Roundway Down they were re-equipped as harquebusiers

They are rated as well-mounted veterans which still gives them plenty of punch

Sir William Balfour's Lifeguard will be my Parliamentary cuirassiers

As part of this project I'm going to need some ECW era buildings

Can anyone suggest a good source of suitable 6mm scale buildings

Yes, I want Wendy houses

[Westmarcher]

Total Battle Miniatures and Battlescale both do 6mm and 10mm.

https://battlescale.com

(As an aside, Pendraken's 19th Century American 10mm are very good in my opinion - I just wish the same manufacturer that Pendraken get their buildings from did Black Powder buildings in the same quality)

[Steve J]

Leven Miniatures do a great range of 6mm stuff, generally very well detailed and at an excellent price:

Thanks for the building suggestions, any others I should be looking at?

Very good progress today
