English Civil War – Royalist Infantry

Well with the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge now over and a rainy day today I find myself with some time on my hands. Now idle hands lead to mischief so rather than get up to this I thought I would drop in a quick post.

Its about time I documented the progress of my Royalist ECW infantry to date, I haven’t gone for any particular OOB just some regiments that drew my eye

The Royalist infantry so far

The first three Regiments are from Empress Miniatures

Allan Aplsey’s Regiment

Edward Stradling’s regiment of Foot

Anthony Thellwell’s Regiment

The next few are from First Corps Miniatures

This is a generic regiment not representing any particular regiment

are The same regiment minus the command stand to show the pike that are just a little fiddly to glue with epoxy

Colonel John Talbot’s Regiment

Lord Hopton’s Regiment

The Duke of York’s regiment

This time another generic regiment from Warlord Games – these are plastic and I can’t really say I enjoyed painting them

Again another generic regiment, not many flags on these

The last two are Bicorne Miniatures Figures

Charles Gerard’d Regiment

Bicorne Pikes can be glued to the base

The King’s Lifeguard

I really like the Musketeers at order pose, I think its my favourite

Running away?

Flags from Flags of War

This just leaves me one regiment of Foot to paint as I have flags for John Lamplugh’s Regiment of Foot and this will be another from Bicorne Miniatures. I have also finished the Pike on another generic Warlord Regiment but I need a few extra command for these and a hefty dose of enthusiasm to tackle the musketeers

After this my aim is to quietly make a start of some Parliamentarian infantry next, I have 3 regiments of Empress Miniatures undercoated to date along with some artillery, dragoons and I think 2 or 3 regiments of cavalry. However having just splashed out on some Perry Miniatures Stradiots for the Italian Wars and more Footsore Barons War, Normans and Vikings I’m going to wait a little before hammering the credit card again
