Warlord Games Scots Covenanters and Sir Ralph Hopton's Regiment

 Another regiment of foot each for the Parliamentarians and Royalists.

Ended up using the colors for Sir Ralph Hopton's Regiment as I didn't have the King's Lifeguard colors at the moment. It's red enough and also a Royalists, so it'll do for now.
The Scots Covenanters set is pretty much the same as the regular Pike & Shotte foot, but with the addition of metal command figures and also metal bonnets, as well as Scots flags.
Someday I hope to get a game of Pike & Shotte in, but until the current health situation improves, I'll continue to add more figures and units for the game. Awaiting the arrival of some Perry cannon and Warlord Games Cuirassiers. Until next time, wishing you all the very best and good health.

    1. Thanks, Scrivs. I am sure we'll get over all of this within the coming year. Been using the past several months of Teleworking to build up armies I would've otherwise held off on. Warmest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Iain. Yes, with artillery and a few more cavalry, should be enough for a small game. Warmest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Dmitry! Yes, it's very nice having just basic color schemes for reference - like jacket colors, all the rest is up to the painter :) Best regards, Dean

  15. Great work on these Dean - being a Scot, I have a soft spot for the Covenanters (always been a Parliamentarian by inclination - I think I liked the helmets over floppy hats when I was pre pubescent and its just stuck!)

    1. Thanks, Keith. Yes, I wanted to give a unit of Pike (Royalist in this case) all helmets, so didn't have any left over for the Scots. Warm regards, Dean
