This pretty much finishes up the
English Civil War Scots foot that I have. Below is a regiment – for big battle
games - from Renegade
Miniatures and a bunch of individually based Scots for skirmishing I
recently picked up from The
Assault Group (they had a buy £40 worth of stuff, get £20 free
promotion to celebrate 2000 followers on facebook…).
I have a few Scots horse to finish up to call this force totally finished….
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
A regiment of Scots Foote from
Renegade
Miniatures - I picked these up years ago… when the pound was in the
tank… and Renegade still had regiment packs…. And they were having a 5 for 4
sale… how could I have resisted THAT action!?
Another shot of the command and pike.

Another shot of the... well... shot...?
All three Regiments of Foote
Scots from The
Assault Group - individually based for some skirmish gaming. This is the first of their Renaissance line I’ve ever
picked up and they are lovely figures.

Now to finish up some more
English… and some Horse…. and
English Horse…!
I also happned to finish up a
few other odd and sundry items over the last week or so…
Still under the category of English Civil War - I have a Warlord Games English Petard Storming party – there was actually an additional figure in the set but when he arrived his spabbard was broken off and I haven’t gotten to manufacturing a new one…
I also painted up a few
renaissance-ish Dwarves while I was at it. I’ve often thought of running a
fantasy role-playing games set in a late rennaisance/pike and shot period… the
two with Halberds are from Wargames
Foundry the one with the red hat was actually originally holding a swab for a cannon, but I found a halberd to
replace it with as I had no gun or other crew for him to join. I wish I could
find a few more of these (or the orcs that were available in the same line.
The other dwarf, with the
musket, is from Reaper
Miniatures.
A Golden Wizard and his
apprentice. The Golden Wizard is a gen-u-ine Warhammer Imperial Golden Wizard
from Citadel Miniatures/Games
Workshop the apprentice I think I picked up in a pack of Fantasy
Females from Mega Miniatures.
I’m not really sure what sort of wizards would these be in
Frostgrave…? I don’t remember much about the
Imperial Colleges of Magic and what sorts of magic each did…
I also have an Amber Wizard of similar vintage I need to
find and apprentice for and paint up…
Speaking of Frostgrave…
Here is another spellcaster for my friend John’s Cheesecake Warband for Frostgrave (that he has yet to actually PLAY with!?). The figures is from Reaper Miniatures.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Great work on the Scots! You were not alone in backing up the truck during Renegade's 5-fo-4 sale on Regimental packs years ago!
ReplyDeleteWish I could still get them for those prices.
Thanks Jonathan!
DeleteYes it was an incredible deal... I picked up a lot of Great War stuff at the time - and even some Napoleonic British!?
Excellent painting as always Tim. Looking at all those blue berets, it makes me think perhaps they were indeed the first UN Force!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry!
DeleteGreat looking regiment and other figures.
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil! Now to get them onto the table!
DeleteGreat Scots! (couldn't resist) Excellent work all around, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of Foundry's "Renaissance" dwarves (and their "Norse" ones as well). But I also regret never picking up any of their "Renaissance" Orcs. Those were very fancy!
Thanks!
DeleteReally nice Scots and wizards , the renegade ones look particularly good.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Iain
Thanks Iain! The Renegade figures were very nice to paint. Lots of detail, but not stupid-hard-to-paint detail.
DeleteAs a Scot, it's great to see a regiment of Scots Foote so well represented on the wargaming table. Nicely done ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim! Hopefully I'll have some game reports of them kicking some English butt up soon!
Delete"And they were having a 5 for 4 sale… how could I have resisted THAT action!?"
ReplyDeleteYou can't. That's why I have have loads of the buggers too :-)
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's a sucker for such good deals!
DeleteThe Gold Wizards in Warhammer specialised in alchemy. Nice job in the colour-scheme -- it's very accurate to its source and the apprentice works really well with him.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stormbringer!
DeleteI think I figured that out at some point - or someone else clued me in - because when I finished up their warband I did a bunch of alchemical symbols on the shields of their knights and men-at-arms:

There isn't really alchemists in Frostgrave - so I ended up calling them "Enchanters"...
