Added a few more commanders for ECW or TYW games. The one on the round base is a Warlord Games figure I got along with the bundle of figures from my buddy a few months ago. In fact, he was painted a while ago, but first time posted here. The three others are TAG figures which was added to an order with some of their Ottoman Turk figures for a project down the road.
Needed more commanders as the Marston Moor player count was upped to 8 for Enfilade next month. In fact, I'm now hosting the game in two time-slots: Saturday night and Sunday morning. Still hosting the two La Haye Sainte games too; so hopefully won't be too burnt out afterwards. Added the Sunday game after hearing that some of our Canadian brethren are staying a day after the con before travelling back home and wondered if there'd be more games on Sunday. Having missed them the two previous years due to travel restrictions, it's the least I felt I could do. Plus, hosting the game the night before, the table and figures can be left as is since the room locked after the last game shuts down.
The TAG figures are really nice and are actually from their TYW range, but look English enough for gaming purposes. All of the figures were painted my usual lazy way: block painted, followed by Minwax stain - and finally a little highlighting here and there.
As far as gaming, have a play test at my buddy's place this coming Friday for his Black Powder game at Enfilade. It's one that's near and dear to his heart - the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809. I'll be sure to post pictures of the game, as he's done up some really impressive scratch-built terrain - including alps. Until then, thanks for dropping by and wishing you all the best.
Excellent brushwork, Dean!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you will be busy at Enfilade! Do take photos from the Tyrolean Revolt game. Having visited some of the historical sites and done some reading, I look forward to seeing this interpretation.
Thanks, Jonathan. I think you'll like seeing the Tyrolean game. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic ECW commanders Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Mike! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteFine work, they will look great on table!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Joe. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteBeautiful work as always Dean!
ReplyDeleteWarm regards
Thank you very much, Michal. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGood job, Dean. I believe that the figures from the TAG are the best for this era. In any case, my Swedes for the Thirty Years War are 80% TAG. And these numbers perfectly command the brigades.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexey. Yes,the TAG figures are quite excellent. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely looking mid seventeenth century commanders!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Yes, without colors or other identifying marks, they could be used for other scenarios. Thanks, Dean
DeleteFab work on them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Simon! Best regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice paint work as usual Dean and as we all know, you can never have too many officers (well, on a wargaming table, real officers are quite another matter!)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. Yes, especially for those rulesets (like Black Powder and Pike & Shotte) which even allow for "replacement" commanders. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThose turned out well, Dean, nice work. Now I have to go look up the Tyrolian rebellion ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Markus. Yes, if it wasn't for my buddy's keen interest in the period, I wouldn't have known much about it either. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic, Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Aaron! Best regards, Dean
DeleteThey look really great Dean. Fantastic.
