Back to Donnybrook, now there's a surprise!!! But this time we've crossed the pond to the early English Colonies in America.
I've used these Empress Miniatures English Civil War figures to represent the early colonists
in the America's. I bought these a few years ago at SELWG in Crystal Palace as I wanted some Militia types for King Philips War and other fights around that time. This is the first time I've painted Empress Miniatures before and I've gotta say they are crackin' figures in both proportion and to paint up.
The unit is made up of various Infantry and dismounted Cavalry packs to try and make them look more individual.
The flag is a homemade one I drew on Paint, I've no clue what kind of flag the Militia would have used if at all? So I used the flag of St George. And of course they don't have to just be the Plymouth Militia, they could be any unit of the war. And of course they could be from the ECW, IF I ever want to do Donnybrook ECW???
There are 20 figures in the unit. These of course can be any Militia unit that fought during King Philip's War, not just the Plymouth Militia.
Which gives me 100 points to add to my total.
Lot of points! Great figures. They look like rag-tag us all right.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with them!
DeleteGreat looking figures, Ray - and useful on two continents!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteOutstanding looking figures. Will have to check out the rules.
ReplyDeleteYeh do Mark. They're a pretty simple but brilliantly effective set of rules.

DeleteNice Work man! have you seen this game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davev/devil-in-the-wilderness-a-card-based-miniatures-game
ReplyDeleteNo not seen it until now, but it does look very interesting.
DeleteFar out Ray, you are churning out figures at a phenomenal rate at the moment, seems like I check every couple of days, and you have added a new post with more beautifully executed additions. Did you think the Empress were a bit smaller than the 28mm we have come to expect? A friend has a large collection of their SCW and I felt them seemed smaller than many of the other big manufacturers....
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I didn't check them up against other figures, but will now.
DeleteGreat looking militia-type unit and useful for many engagements.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are Joe.
DeleteYou do manage to make this look good Ray, don't need another bunch of wee sojers.
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for Donnybrook, George!
DeleteVery nicely done here Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence!
