I didn't want to title this post as a project completed, as no project is really ever completed. However, I wanted to post pictures of it to date as I will take a break from it for awhile.
As noted in individual posts earlier, most of the figures are Warlord Games with a few Perry and TAG.
Close up of the horse, cannon and commands. The medium cavalry units units can be broken down into 8 figure units like the Cuirassiers.
And the foot. The Commanded Shotte units could be broken down in four units of 12 figures each and attached to horse units.
This should be my last "big" project for the year. For the record, I just ordered a box of Wargames Atlantic WW1 German infantry as a change of pace. Thanks for stopping by and best wishes to you all this holiday season.
This is a very impressive sight, Dean! Are the TAG ECW foot of the smaller variety like Foundry or large like Redoubt?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. I only have the 3 horse holders from TAG, but they seem pretty close in size to Warlord and Perry. I don't have Redoubt or Foundry ECW, but I think they'd probably be sized between the two. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteWow! Thats a really big army, without any compromises! Will wait for the Huns.. I mean, Germans!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Looking forward to the "War to End All Wars" figures. :) Warm regards, Dean
DeleteOh yes! That's looking epic!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michal! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteMost impressive and splendid units Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Phil! Best regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteCheers,
Vasiliy
Thank you very much, Vaisily! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteA really lovely parade, a pleasure to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Norm. It was nice to see they laid out and in units. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteImpressive ECW collection Dean, I'm always amazed by how quickly you paint armies!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Mike! I must say the staining process was used extensively for these - really cutting down painting time. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteA great looking ECW collection and I agree with Cyrus above, the speed with which you produce such top quality results is very impressive! WW1 Bosches will be quite a change of pace but I am sure they will be equally inspiring when completed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! Besides the use of Minwax stain - limiting clothing colors really sped up the project. In fact, the last two P&S regiments used the same spray paint for both coats and pants. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks brilliant all together Dean. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Ray! Best regards, Dean
DeleteLooks splendid in array.
ReplyDeleteI shall anticipate seeing what great work you do with the WWI stuff.
All the best of the season to you too Dean.
Thanks a lot, Scrivs! Best regards to you too! Dean
DeleteVery impressive and looking good Dean. You have turned out a sizeable force fairly quickly great concentration !
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Matt. Happy to have reached the initial goal for this ECW project. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb looking army Dean! This is exactly how we start new projects - by being inspired by beautiful collections like yours.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Jason
Ah, thank you so much for your very kind words, Jason. Much appreciated! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks very fine, Dean - I make that 304 foot, 40 Horse plus guns and command. I'd aim for at least twice that many Foot and Horse in the long run... :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! I think the foot are around 200 or so - the P&S regiments are 40 figs each: 16 Pike (incl command) and 2 12 man Shotte. That said, I will someday add more to the armies. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks terrific, Dean! My congrats on reaching this "milestone" :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dmitry. Yes, very happy to now have some Pike and Shotte for a future game. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean that is mighty impressive. I am so awed by your ability to complete (for now) such a large project in a matter of weeks.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thank you so much for the kind words, Kevin. I have to say these figures (period clothing, minimal equipment) painted up quite easily - basic block painting and staining. And, keeping colors very basic also helped. That said, I am pleased to have them done. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat army! The work done causes both envy and delight
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denis! Hope to use them in action someday soon. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteDean,
ReplyDeleteVery impressive!
Neil

ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you very much, Iain. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLove this - as you know, I'm just starting into this period, and seeing the "end state" is inspiring.
