Don't forget their skien dou's 

Finished the next 3 Covenant pike regiments - Haldane's, Preston's and Campbell of Lawer's.

Finished writing up my scenario for the convention game this weekend - can the Covenant stop Cromwell from seizing Leith some 369 years after the actual attempt?

Given that most of the English are rated as veterans (from what the BCW site says) they might have their work cut out but we will see.....

then it will be time to base up some of those "stripy rascals" and finally begin the campaigns of the King's Lieutenant in Scotland.....I hope DGuy's got MacColla and Inchbrakie to make up after their little tiff at Glen Tilt or else Montrose's campaign will end before it has even begun         

Take lots of pictures! Any day the Grand Usurper is defeated is a good day!

As a pseudo-historical footnote, Montrose showed up the next day and, "You did what???"

Bagpipes done

I am sure the neighbors are pleased! 

 

I made a start on base coating the skin on Friday

No painting over the rest of the weekend as I spent 2 days having a jolly good time playing scenarios provided by Pierre the Shy at Call to Arms, one of our two local Wargaming events

I won't steal his thunder but I really enjoyed all three games we played, the first two immensely 

Finished base coating the skin

Made a good start on the hair

And did some sword hilts that were only partly covered by hands, not completely covered as I'd thought

I'm intending to write up our two games of FK@P that we played last weekend, just waiting on getting pictures of the latter stages of the very close second game which ended in quite dramatic circumstances....

Meantime here is a link to my mate Rhys's blog with his take on "Call to Arms": http://badlyleadmen.blogspot.com/2019/08/a-weekends-gaming.html

All looks good apart from the expense on tyres! 

It was definitely good catching up with Rhys again

I better get onto processing those pictures

Hair finished on the Highlanders

Skin highlighted

Final details added to this batch of Highlanders

I'll check for touch ups tonight, wash tomorrow night and then final dry brush and figures bases on Saturday

Processed those pictures and sent to Pierre the Shy for the last part of his second battle report

Highlanders washed

One missed touch up spotted, will be fixed tomorrow

Bases and standards prepared for these guys - will be mix of various Camerons, Gordons and Campbells. 

Writing up the games from last weekend.....took a lot of pics.....just about need a blog like Jack uses.

Missed touch up fixed

Final dry brush done

Figure bases painted

They will be dry enough for Pierre the Shy to pick up before our regular Saturday game this evening

Just after I finished them I got a txt suggesting I might like to do some Gordon Horse next

Gordon Horse will be sorted shortly

Highlanders handed over after our game last night

Gordon Horse undercoated

Gordon Horse's horses base coated

Started touching up the base coating, always seem to miss bits usually where the legs meet the body

Finished touching up the base coats

Horses highlighted
