ScottR English Civil War Command Bases 28mm (136 points)

Here are my completed English Civil War Command bases for the Royalist Scots - Irish Army under the Marguis of Montrose.

First off is the CIC, the Marquis of Montrose himself.  Standing around the table at the local hostel drinking ale with one of his sub-Commanders while the young bar lass brings more ale.  A young officer plays the violin. (Female figure is Colonel Bills figure - Becky Burton)

First Command  is Alisdair MacColla.  He is accompanied by some of his body guard including Maggie Maclean carrying one of his standards.  A young brash lassie. (Colonel Bills figure)

The next Command is Colonel James MacDonell mounted with one of his Colonels of Horse.  Young Big Arm Guy, drinking from his wine skin and filling the Colonels cup! Big Arm Guy is a conversion of a Warlord Games metal artillery figure.  removed his cleaning stave, put a kilt on him from green stuff, moved his stave arm and gave him a resin barrel.  then removed his hat and put on a bonnet.

Last but not least, and after all it is a Scots-Irish Army is Colonel Manus O'Cahan and his retinue.  Manus is in the company of one of his buxom sub commanders.  Lilleth of the Valley. (Colonel Bills figure - Molly Cutpurse)

19 by 28mm foot figures for 95 points

2 momunted figures for 20 points

3 female figures for ?? points

Total is 115 points .

Wow, fabulous work on these command stands, Scott! I particularly like Montrose's base with the crowded table, fiddler and serving girl (also, any base with a dog on it gets extra points from me).  Very nice groundwork on all of these as well. I must say, Col. Bill must be a lascivious little satyr, as it seems most of his female figures are experiencing various forms of wardrobe malfunctions. I don't know how any of these commanders functioned with all these distractions. :) 

I've added a few more points for the banners, and as to the female figures, they are scored as other 28mm figures.
