Those look very nice and the Perry’s Irish in particular look like good figures.

Wonderful stuff.  Looking forward to seeing how they continue to shape up.  Should consider placing an Elizabethan-looking officer/gentleman type or two among them - as gentry who have adopted Continental dress, or as Spanish advisors.

I have quite a few Elizabethan Gentlemen and one of them does look particularly Spanish so that might work cheers.

A few English finished this time. Three are the Graven Images Garrison Troops and one from the Wargaes Foundry Swashbucklers range. The Foundry figures from this range are quite chunky so fit in well. I am doing most of them with unifrom jackets so three are to finish off my first unit and the last one in blue is the start of a new set. Not sure about the blue.

Very Fine indeed.  I see from your flickr page that you also have a couple of demilancers finished.  Again, very fine indeed.

Do you plan on skirmish gaming with them ?  And if so, using what rule set ?

I have a few more figures to share with you including the Demi Lancer, sneak preview below but more on the blog.

https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/2018/11/elizabethan-ireland-update.html

At the moment I am planning on Pikemans lament but may also try Sharply Buffed the Sharp Practice variant for this period.

The Demi Lancer is one of the Hoka Hey Elizabethans rather than the Graven Images they also carry.

Cheers, if you have seen the blog then you have seen this guy too, if not here he is. This is the Demi lancer with a head swap and using a Perry;s WOTR horse. I really like how he has come out.

Great to see an up date.
Your figures look great.
I was lucky to play in an Irish vs English game at a Con. last year.
Pikeman's Lament were the rules used.
They worked well, had a fun time
