Monday starting post and late Sunday finishing post

First up the finished, two pike heavy infantry battalia and three forlorn hopes.

They were set to be ready yesterday but when I came to varnish the second pike heavy battalia I realised that I hadn't done the ground. So that put varnishing back to this morning.

It did let me undercoat the next batch of figures so all in all things are still on track.
Here they are one standard infantry battalia and four Swedish doctrine cavalry units.

Monday with a week in work ahead

Which of course may slow things down a bit.

Latest batch of figures is prepared and understated. I'm experimenting with a black undercoat for half of these units and may retry the dot and line technique if I can be disciplined enough.

Sunday post #2

The first ECW units are painted

Three of them are already on bases but I'm going to wait till more if not most are done before finishing the bases off so I can get a more homogeneous look across both forces.

All four units, three based and the fourth waiting to come off the painting sticks.

Cavalry based to replicate Swedish doctrine under For King and Parliament

Standard foot battalia

Cavalry based to represent Dutch doctrine under FKaP

Flank view of the two cavalry bases.

Monday in lockdown, ECW project starts

So partially inspired by Nige's efforts solo gaming with to the strongest I've decided to crack on with the ECW lead mountain. Prepped one unit of infantry and cavalry for the rightly guided and rebels. Hopefully these should be finished by Sunday.
