From AaronP: Back home means I have basing material, another ECW project is done (400 pts)

 Hello again,

So one of the projects I was working on while I was away was an ECW (WTK) project for a game called ADLG-R. Its one of those fast play historical games like DBA or MEG (I am sure that comment will upset someone).

Anyway, I was waiting to post these until I sorted out their bases and I was going to wait till I had all the banners done, but I waited too long to order the banners. So I got impatient and here they are.

So first up are the armies commanders. Up the top you have Prince Rupert of the Rhine. I have been reading a lot about him and he is such an interesting dude. I highly recommend a book you can get for free online from the 19th Century called Rupert of the Rhine; A Biographical sketch of the life of Prince Rupert, Prince Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Cumberland ETC. It is so incredibly embellished it reads like the Grandpa from The Princess Bride is reciting it to you. So much of it is clearly made up, but man is it an entertaining read.

For prince Rupert I painted him up as he is depicted in a lot of contemporary paintings and of course is his dog boye. 

Next is Lord John Byron, who will be leading the horse. I also used some paintings of him to base his colour scheme.

Finally is Henry Tiller, who from memory I couldn't find much about so painted him how I wanted.

 Next is Prince Rupert's Blewcoats. I read that sometimes a group of musketeers would operate separately as a Forlorn Hope, so I included a seperate unit to represent that.

Three random units, two pike and shotte and one musket. These are not based on any unit in particular. I picked the flags cause I liked them.

Some Dragoons and a large gun.

Medium cav, with Prince Rupert's Regiment at the front, and then some heavy cav with the prince's Lifeguard there in red.

Overall I am really happy with the outcome. I am keen to get some banners on the cav and Prince Rupert himself. 

OK so in terms of points. I am not sure how this will work. These are all Warlords Epic scale ECW which Google tells me are 13.5mm. I am not sure how you will want to point this. Here are the figure counts.

Infantry: 119

Cavalry: 37

Horse: 2

Dog: 1

Cannon: 1

Thanks and thanks

P.S please forgive the chaos that is my painting desk

From Millsy:

Any post that contains Prince Rupert and Boye gets my seal of approval right off the bat! Good to see a fellow loyal subject of the rightful King keeping the fight alive.

Lovely work with the brush mate. I have Talbot's and Rupert's regiments in my collection too and you have pulled off the look and feel of a worn but experienced body of troops really well.

These are scored as 15mm based on previous posts so it'll add a very tidy 400 points to you tally. Nice work.

Cheers,
Millsy
