New Model models


Above is my third regiment is forming up- John Pickering's from the New Model Army. All being well I should get the command stand based tonight. This regiment are all Renegades- slightly bigger minis than Bicorne but which work fine as separate units. Unusually, I painted these myself and they have come out pretty well but aren't quite as good as the pro-painted minis in the other units.

Below is the army so far- elements of four battalia. I plan to raise at least two dozen foot units, drawn mainly from Hopton's, Waller's, the Oxford and New Model armies.

  2. Hi Evan, I have a whole regiment of 29 lobster minis painted and in the basing queue. :-) I have around 700 painted minis total that will need to be based.

  3. I really should be avoiding your ECW stuff. It's just making me want to expand mine even further!

    1. I love collecting the regiments- with appropriate flags and uniform colours, where known.

  4. They look great, Simon. Well done again. I've been seeing a lot of interesting base shapes recently. Some of the local guys here have figures on irregular shaped ones too.

    1. Thanks Dean- I like to do things a little differently. When they are finished they will be heaving flocked and should match a new mat I've had designed.
