Pseudo-Bavarians & Wayward Venetians...

... I also liked the idea of having them flying sideways so the designs can be seen a bit clearer; it also hides to a certain extent, that strange effect so often seen on miniature battlefields, where the wind blows in opposite directions!!!!

A strange effect indeed, in my recent ECW I had the Royalist flags flying to the right and Parliament to the left

I like to think the standard bearer has just been giving the flag a vigorous wave from side to side. Though given the tendency we have of oversizing flags at times it's a wonder he doesn't fall over!

You've done a cracking job - I often sub in similar paints, some are surprisingly cheap!

Have to agree with this TP. I have a few expensive paints but I find that the cheap ones work just as well, and at these small scales the difference is not really noticeable...

The Gods of War obviously have control over localised micro-climates!!!!

  Beefy boyz obviously; those standard bearers!

When they are facing each other the wind looks to be coming from the Royalist left and Parliament's right, i.e. from one side of the table

No flanking manoeuvres allowed then?

[paulr]

For the 'rare' occasions that flank attacks happen in ECW

Very nicely done!!! A favorite period for me. Love your choice of blue for the Bavarians too!

Many thanks Terry, I have been very entertained by the great 'Bavarian Blue' debate... Mine is a mix of Ultramarine blue, white & light grey, any variations between battalions I put down to the natural effects of fading!!!

Well done, these are very nice; very characterful mouldings and well painted.

The "Bavarian Blue" has come out very nicely too; although my preference is for the Humbrol "WWI German Light Blue" (No.109), my only use for enamels these days.

Thank you DHautpol  I must admit I haven't used enamels in decades!!
