As well as delivering some much needed printing to me Pierre the Shy delivered 8 battalia of Irish plus some hangers on that need painting :!!

Pierre the Shy has been very patient while I work on some of my own projects so these are now at the head of my painting queue :-[

The first two battalia are on my painting rods and are awaiting a lull in the current severe gales to get undercoated :-w

These extra units were originally meant to be for a Benburb refight, but I've come across some good information about the battle of Knocknanuss in 1647 as well in the course of researching Benburb, so looking at restaging that as well as I have most of the units needed once Paul finishes these Irish for me....Knocknanuss is a bit special for me as its the last battle to feature the "Redshanks" highlander types under the command of Major General Sir Alasdair Mac Colla, who was, during the 1644/45 Scottish campaign, Montrose's chief lieutenant.

He died in somewhat contraversial circumstances at the end of the battle at Knocknanuss.

Still certainly shows that this period of British history should be called the War of the Three Kingdoms rather than the English Civil War, there's so much more to it than just Edgehill to Naseby!

Good point, but I suspect several would have been confused if this was a WTK Irish thread ;)

Touch ups done :)
