Nice work, looking forwards to seeing some Sedgemore action at a show in 2024 ;)

The finest wargaming period ever sir. I await your rules/emphasis/painting on this superb period in English history with relish...

LOL, Paul. That might be a bit optimistic... Thanks Duc- I've been giving some thought to rules, already, a mildly tweaked FK&P variant.

I've been mixing up the hues also and began a while back with my British Peninsula army. Funny thing is that at any sort of distance they end up just looking like a red-coated unit so I'm not sure it will make that much difference. Tell me what you think when it finishes up. Good looking bunch you have there - as usual.

Thanks chaps! Unlucky general- I fear this may be the case, but it'll be interesting to see whether the extra work repays the effort.

This is a fascinating period Simon and I am so much emboldened by your self-confessed"butterflying" into other periods and armies. Just like yourself, I too tend to like to flutter between attractive units. Keep it going as these lads look stunning.

Hi Carlo, sometimes one has got to paint what one feels like! These are great minis with an unusual look; ECW with a twist! I'd love a coat liek they have although I fear it would raise eyebrows in Muswell Hill.

Quite appropriate that you reference being a butterfly in this particular post, for when you "flap your wings" in the UK, the effects are felt all across the wargaming world.

Beyond impressed at the scope and scale of your efforts. Well done! Being an enthusiast of ancients, however, I will just admire the 17th century work and look forward for your next pre-gunpowder era spectacle. Perhaps you will have something to offer for Bosworth - Battle Day 2020, or even for the engagement selected for Battle Day 2021?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,

It's traditional for me to produce the army for a given Battle day some 5 years after the Battle day in question. ;-) Bosworth probably not, but I am looking at Swiss and Burgundians so I might be in the same era...

Fabulous looking unit. Love the vibrant colours and who doesn't love those silly floppy hats! Looking forward to seeing them all based up.
