From: NoelW - ECW (595 points)

Having seen Kent's amazing post last week, I was inspired to see how many points I could manage in a single week, if I focused on nothing else and gave up sleeping and eating. I wanted to finish enough ECW figures to give myself a game - which really meant something close to 100 figures.

Apologies again for my lack of photographic skills. There's some pretty poor offerings here.
Firstly, Scots cavalry (6 figs and a general):

And a block of infantry to support them (28 figures):

A white regiment (probably to be Newcastle's), (17 figures):

A purple regiment (17 figures):

The rest of a red regiment, begun in a previous post (10 figures):

Two guns with eight crew (in a lousy photo):

And finally dragoons - six mounted and nine on foot:

Together with the figures previously posted, I've pretty much painted two (small) ECW armies so far within the Challenge, which is a really pleasing achievement for me. There's more to paint, of course, but there's enough to give dragoons, generals, a gun, a dozen cavalry and five foot regiments per side - certainly a decent game there.

Figures are a mix of Warlord plastics and Perry metals. That's two guns, 13 mounted figures and 89 foot, making, if my maths is right, 15x10 and 89x5, for a total of 595 points. Not quite the 600 I was hoping for, but there are several figures almost complete which will go forward to next week, too. 


Sheesh Noel, what a whopper of a post today! You have been a busy little bee haven't you? Well I must say I really dig your ECW project and these figures are no exception. The colourful regiments of Foot and all those specialists like the Horse and the Guns are very nice indeed. The pictures are indeed a bit dark but they cannot hide that you have reached a very high level of painting and basing is excellent too. I hope to see many more of these lovely figures in the remaining two weeks. Cheers Sander
