ECW Scots Lancers #2


The last of the Scots (for now) gallop forth.

Their cornet (flag) follows a similar pattern to many the infantry standards.


These lancers are, as usual, 25/28 mm Old Glory figures.


I probably won't return to any Scots this year, and certainly not before the Fall.
There is sufficient lead on hand for 4 more regiments of Foote and the High Command, plus maybe a few other odds and ends!

  1. Last of the Scots, eh? How many have you painted?

    1. Last, for now... Hmm, I see I haven't updated my ECW page to include the Scotts.. roughly 4 Foote at 20 each, 4 Highlanders at 12 each, 4 Cavalry = 24, 2 Dragoons =20, plus the Artillery and a few command figures - not quite 200.

  2. They certainly look like they are galloping off the painting table.

  3. Another nice looking unit, Peter, and I particularly like their white on red saltire flag!

    1. Thank you, Keith. I liked this flag too, and only fitting it go to a unit wearing red coats!

  4. I too wondered how many you had painted. Quite a collection Peter and I'll look forward to seeing them all in action soon.

    1. More of the painted Scots will appear to the table when we return to Maidenhythe, perhaps in late April

  5. Does Lance give them an extra hit or similar ?

    1. It gives them an extra "hit card" (attack) in their first melee. On the other hand, Scots cavalry all count as "poorly mounted" in TTS! which penalizes them in other ways

  6. Look like a good unit for the border wars.

  7. Great looking lancers, I think I have to face up to starting my Montrose army this year, your Scots have pushed me over the edge!
