Warlord Games ECW Commanders

A few more commanders for the ECW project. From left to right: Lord Minimus, the Marquis of Newcastle and a Scots officer.

The figure used for Newcastle is actually sold as James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose; and the Scots officer is actually listed as Prince Maurice. The Scots fifer and Newcastle's standard bearer are Perry figures - left overs from the Scots foot command ordered previously.

The Lord Minimus figure is a single casting (horse & rider) and came with the To Kill a King

 supplement. That's a pet monkey he has on his left arm.

Lord Minimus was appointed a Captain of Horse by the Queen, and he liked to be known as Captain Jeffrey Hudson (his real name). He fled with the Queen to the Continent in 1643 and while in exile had killed another Royalist in duel. He was later captured by pirates and spent a quarter of a century as a slave in North Africa. He later died in England and buried in a paupers' grave. Whether he actually participated in any battle or not is not certain, however, the supplement has stats listed for his use.

Since I have a week or so before the Marston Moor game, I think I'll work on some of the Old Glory cannon that came along with the other figures from my buddy's sale. Until next time, wishing you all the best and thanks again for dropping by the blog.
