Cheers levied troop, technology not my strong point.

Below is the first Irish shotte. I know they used more Calivers as they were lighter and better suited to skirmishing but still I like these.

Very effective  painting and conversions.  I like how you mixed in a couple of burgonets (one footman and one mounted) to fix them in time as being Elizabethan vice 15th century  (or even 14th ! ).

Your English forces are a treat.  Nice to see how well the various manufacturers figures mix together.

I am a fan of mixing manufacturers were I can, hoping the TAG Dutch Militia figures mix in as well as they are lovely figures, three packs just having arrived.

An interesting and often neglected subject!  :)

Nice stuff all around, I just have to mention that the mold lines on some of the horses (especially the gray) set off my OCD quite a bit  o_o

Well, I shall have to live with it, as I must follow this project for a while  ;)

I will have to see if I can remedy that. Its a little harder with the plastics as these are two part plastic castings that I have to join in the middle, my modellign skills still being hones. Bizarely the Grey is the only one thats metal!

RogerC, I have the Foundry Swashbucklers also, and am considering the TAG Dutch Sea Beggars and Militia.  Please do let us know how well the two ranges compare.
