The first unit of Scots cavalry gallops off the painting table! They appear 2 scenarios in the FK&P scenario book beyond the one we just played last week.
"Scotland the Brave!"
Old Glory figures; horses painted as "Roan".
Five bonnie bonnets and 1 helmet amongst them!
They look great Peter, and the roan colour works well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. I actually spend some time considering the horse color/uniform matches. Only matters because I like relative uniformity that is achievable with toy soldiers but seldom in real life!
DeleteBonnie lads on bonnie horses. 6 man units? like that! But you need some heather on those bases!
ReplyDeleteHoot man, There be no heather because they we fighting in England, noht our bonnie home! :-)
DeleteWonderful, looking Cavalry Peter. They very much look the part.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Carlo. The entire Scots project was precipitated by the combination of the "Maidenthyme" scenario book and the Old Glory Army Card!
DeleteA bonnie looking set of lads Peter. Wish I hadn't seen them now because it's go me thinking about building a Covenanter army now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris! As I said, I had no plans whatever for a Covenanter Army, but the appearance of the Scots in those scenarios prompted the project. There are lots more Scots to come!
DeleteTop unit as always, always Peter. I really like how the fella in the helmet is pointing at the bonnet saying "I want one of those!"
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks, James! Ach, if he's a true Scot, he's probably wearing the bonnet under the helmet! :-)
DeleteNo mistaking what neck of the woods those are from
ReplyDeleteThey are, indeed, quite distinctive! :-)
DeleteNice work Peter, they look great. OG Army Card.....I remember those! If US postage wasn't now so expensive, I might consider getting one again.....
ReplyDeleteShipping with in the US for Old Glory is very reasonable; $9 US. International shipping to or from anywhere has become absurdly expensive, and we won't discuss the current issues with the Royal Mail!
DeleteIn addition to the quality of the sculpts and the favorable Dollar/Euro exchange rate, shipping for Lucas' Kickstarters has been very reasonable as well - about $25 US for a very big, heavy package. Not so for almost everything else!
Splendid looking Scots cavalry and lovely horse colour!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you, Iain!
DeleteLovely mounted Scots, Peter. As others have said, the colors are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, and the kind words, Dean!
