Title: Jacobites as Montrose Scots
Post by: mollinary on 22 December 2016, 08:00:22 PM
Hi Guys,

Courtesy of Leon, I thought I would share with you the basing of Kev's recently painted Jacobite pikemen recruited, however unhistorically, into my Strathbogie Regiment for Montrose's army of  the late 1640s.  Lots more to base, highlanders among them. More picccies to come!

Like them! Particularly the placement of the flags in the pike block - nice!

Also -  you can have only so many figures in Hodden grey - these are  Gordons - they can wear tartan.  :)
Retrospectively - I wish I had used some of those Jacobite pikemen myself.
Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Very nice Mollinary  :)

As V&B ECW house rules are not really "developed" and I don't have time/resources to DIY I've been inspired enough to get a copy of Baroque and try some test games over the hols (in between completing Mrs Shy's to do list of stuff round the house of course  ;) ) so we will get to play DBA and ECW in some form in 2017  :-bd

Definitely "borrow" the idea of using some of the Jacobite pikemen.

What range figures are you using for the shot "sleeves" of your Strathbogie Regiment  ECW or Jacobites?

Look forward to seeing the rest of your Scots Royalists.

Thanks for posting.
