| Sir John Hanmar's regt |
I've been chatting on TMP, to fellow Nine Years War nut John , otherwise known as "cantbeatdavy", he's been busy painting up regiments for the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim.
John's been using quite a few of my flags for his figures so I asked him to send me some pics of his troops and I'll post them on my blog for all the world to see! (Well, you anyway??)
John explained that the figures are mostly from (the now US owned I hear) Venexia, supplied by Martin at Vexillia, a few Donnington and a few from Essex minis. The bases are from the excellent Warbases and they're based up for Fields of Glory rules. #
The flags are from myself, Flags of War and he's ordered more flags from Tinytintroops!
John also said he was quite pleased with comments received at Q-Con a few weeks ago, but he's sure he's made a few mistakes painting some of them up. I think they look great and he's made a great job on them all. I love the cannonballs flying out of the artillery, I need to know how that was done!!!!
Nice one John!! and thanks for letting me show your figures!

The canon ball? maybe a pin with the little ball hidden with the smoke?
(but it will be difficult and too big?)

ReplyDeleteAh so that's how its done!!
Deleteohh thats "cantbeatdavy" from TMP.
ReplyDeleteHi Ray,
ReplyDeleteReally nice pictures and I love the cannon ball thing. A plastic bead on the end of a short length of thick fishing line drilled into the guns barrel perhaps? I think I shall give it a go myself!!
beautiful colors, as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are a terrific bunch of troops. Well painted and the sheer number is impressive. And the flags are as always stellar Ray.
ReplyDeleteWhatever Anne, you're going down!!!!!!
DeleteThat was Fran, Anne. He said he was filling out a report because he'd turned his PC off, the lying git!
DeleteNice - Thanks for posting this collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures
ReplyDeleteLovely collection Ray !

No matter how well minis are painted, only good flags can bring them to life!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see what comes around, isn't it?
Congrats to John for the figs, and to you for the flags. Those stands are really nice, hope I'll see them on a table one day!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Earl of Antrim's regt...

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of flying balls. Must try and make some for myself.
ReplyDeleteOMG just reading all these has inspired me further.Aughrim here we come!!
ReplyDeleteagain really really nice of everyone.and a special thanks to Ray {again} and also to Martin Stephenson who has been patient n helpfull over the last few weeks supplying the figs.
My pleasure John! I'm glad its inspired you to paint more of the figures!
DeleteLovely job on these, especially the bases.
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask what software package do you use to design the flags??
ReplyDeleteCheers
Ken
Just MS Paint.
DeleteHappy you're still going strong Ray. I missed some good content (inc boobs off course)last weeks but I'm catching up quickly...
ReplyDeleteGood lad!
DeleteLooking good.. really finishes off the units indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures, the cannon balls are very cool!
ReplyDeletenice looking troops....good excuse for another game and AAR!
ReplyDeleteSo varied. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteRay, one thing you may want to consider doing, is creating a PAGE here, showing photos of all your NYW painted regiments on a single page. You could also show the regiment names and colourings as a list. May be useful to some folks who visit you.
ReplyDeleteyes i agree,all in one place,instead of lookin through all the other pages.not that thats bad...but it would be quicker.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull collection of figures, and that artillery is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
