Warlord Games ECW Pike & Shotte Reinforcements

Thanks to a great deal from a buddy who had some old boxes of foot as well as cavalry, some additions to an ECW Pike & Shotte project are being worked on. So far there are enough foot for two regiments with pike and shotte, and several shotte units as well. I may add some pikemen to the shotte units, or leave them as separate commanded shotte. Wanting to keep this as a quick and fairly simple project, I started with basecoats of spray paint I already had - except for a new can of red.

The flesh, hair, buff coats, armor, leather straps and pouches/bags have been painted over the base colors. I plan to paint some of the pants various other colors for variety.
I hope to start the new year with some Pike & Shotte games. Happy Holidays!

    1. Thank you very much, Keith! I want to host some P&S games in the new year, but figured I needed a few more units to make it more interesting. We'll see how much I can squeeze in before the year's out. Kindest regards and Merry Christmas! Dean

  9. That is a quick way to get the base colors done. It looks like you are well on your way to completing some armies. Are you planning to use Warlord's Pike & Shotte rules or something else?

    1. Thanks, Dave! At this stage They look a bit like Airfix figures. Plan to use Warlord Games'Pike and Shotte, at least initially. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  10. That’s a great idea for mass paint, doing blocks of one color spray.

    Cheers
