I put on a bit of a push over the last couple of weeks and have completed the last four Parliamentarian Regiments, to make eight in total. The first of these is Thomas Fairfax's regiment of Foot, which I beefed up with an additional four elements of pike to represent a 'pike heavy' regiment if required:
The flag is again from Wargames Designs, and I used a mixture of armoured and unarmoured pikemen to provide some variety:
Two more red-coated regiments in Onslow's and Birch's regiments respectively:
And the blue-coated Aldrich's regiment complete the quartet:
Aldrich's regiment has three lions on its flag, which is a nice change from the usual simple white circles:
I also added a few more elements to the King's Lifeguard regiment, to provide a similar 'pike heavy' unit for the Royalists:
And added an additional command element and flag to this regiment as well, to lend it a little more gravitas:
Here are the four completed Parliamentarian regiments assembled together:
That is now sixteen regiments completed, eight each for the Royalists and Parliamentarians, with six Scottish Covenanter regiments left to go.
Super work, Lawrence. You continue cranking handsome regiments of Foote at a rapid clip. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. I'm going to see if I can get all the Scots finished before the end of December, but I might be pushing it.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg, it was nice to complete the Parliamentarian foot.
DeleteVery nicely done Lawrence I think I can learn something from your bold colours they stand out really well 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. I use mainly Foundry paints which always seem to have good coverage.
DeleteAll the troops look mighty fine Lawrence. Keep up the fab work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray. I'm hoping that with a couple of weeks off over Christmas and New Year I can churn a few Scots regiments out.
DeleteNice work Lawrence. They are good meaty units. The read coats certainly make them pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. I wanted to include as many red-coated Parliamentarian regiments as possible as they can then span both the early Parliamentarian and later New Model army lists.
DeleteSplendid workmanship as usual Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, I made quite a dent in the project with this lot.
DeleteExcellent looking pike and shot units!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, I'm full swing into the Scots now and hope to have a few of them up before the end of the month.
DeleteThese are four beautifully painted regiments Lawrence!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vol, I was pleased to get this lot completed.
DeleteBloody hell Lawrence I get marginally excited about painting a few nags in a week and you churn out four beautiful units in two!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
Regards, James
Thanks James. Yes, there were quite a few early morning starts to required to complete this lot.
DeleteA quartet of handsome Roundhead Foote, Lawrence...and superior productivity as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I have another three hundred Scots about to march off the production line, hopefully by the end of the week.
