Colonel John Talbot's Regiment of Foot


Here's Talbot's regiment- the first completely based regiment in 28mm for my "For King and Parliament" collection, for use with the new ECW rules that Andrew Brentnall and I will publish late this year/early next. This is the first of 20 regiments of foot for a planned Salute game. 

It has three stands of 12 minis and a command stand of six. The minis are all Bicornes, beautifully painted by Chris Meacham, and the flags are from Flags of War. The photo is clickable- the detail on the minis is superb!. This is the way I'll base my minis for the game but, because it's gridded, minis can be based in any way that people want; no need to rebase existing collections!

I'll be at Colours tomorrow with Andrew Brentnall, running a big 10/12mm ECW participation game, do drop by and say hello. I'll have these minis (and some more) with me. Hope to see you there!

  1. But I don't understand... Where are the elephants...?
    ; )

    Just taking the proverbial, mate, these are lovely, even if they are Royalists! Some Trained Bands or the famous 'regiment of Lobsters' should balance things out.

  3. Yes, very, very nicely done! Are you planning on using a 200mm grid for you 28mm games?

    1. Sorry missed this; my units will occupy two 15cm squares, they are approaching 30cm wide. There will be a section of the rules to accommodate this.

  4. They look terrific Simon! I love all the brave banners (I can't resist having stacks of them in my units as well).

    1. Hi Curt, yes banners are one of my favourite things about the period, I want to have loads of them!
