Warlord Games ECW Pike & Shotte Regiments

Finished three more foot regiments. Lord Brooke's in purple coats, Talbot's in yellow, and Essex's in orange.

There are now 9 foot regiments, and I hope to someday add 3 more for a total of 12 - which should make for a good 4 to 6 player game, with cavalry and artillery.
The pikemen and command are on metal washers to help ease their placement on movement trays - the pikemen with levelled pikes take some consideration of where to place them. Also, the flag bearer can be swapped out for different units, if needed.
For the record, this is the look I tried to achieve with the blocks of shotte - from period illustrations below.

Plan to start on the artillery set soon, however, it'll have to wait until next week since my son will be stopping by later this week from his Army assignment in Italy. He's actually coming to his friend's wedding, but will be staying with us while coming and going. Until next time, hope you all are doing well!
