Well, it took me all of 24 days, but here are the first 13 pikemen for my company of the Earl of Manchester's regiment of foote. I'm really pleased with this box of Warlord Pike & Shotte infantry; they're fun to assemble and paint, and there's just enough variety to not need to mix them with another manufacturer's unit. I reckon I can improve the technique on them, as they still look a bt sloppy. Getting the right browns was the hardest part, and no doubt purist (or even Puritan) E.C.W. gamers will point out that the gloves are way to dark. I'll put another highlight on them at a later stage. I'm also doing a display base for the unit as a whole.I took this opportunity to include in the photos some of those Christmas trees I purchased, to show what the finished bases look like.
If you haven't yet done so, make sure you check out Saxon Dog's blog, as the Marston Moor game he recently did was... well, take a look at these photos and you'll see what I mean.Next up are Manchester's Major's company command group and the Green Knight.
