Title: Start of my Montrose royalist rabble.
Post by: THE CID on July 06, 2020, 03:45:04 PM: These are all Bicorne figures. I've given a couple of the highlanders short pikes/spears as I didn't want too many lochaber axes. Some swordsman, cavalry, Irish and Montrose himself.

. A think a few could be, over his various guises over the years.

Thank you for all the nice comments, I love painting tartans. Having a bit of scotish ancestry in my blood must help i.e Stewart and Douglas granny's and myself called Craig Andrew 😂

Post by: has.been on July 07, 2020, 10:30:18 AM: Tartans are good, & I am envious as I have a Jacobite army to paint,
but I have to agree that pair of 'ricking, ticking striped pyjamas' (Red trews)
are the bees knees. Well done.

I'm painting up a Montrose army too. I don't know if they fielded any cavalry, but I'm painting up a unit of moss troopers this weekend.

Post by: Radar on July 25, 2020, 12:11:29 PM: Excellent stuff. Currently 'thinking about' Montrose's army, but in 15mm, so thanks for the inspiration.

As my armies are 'true' 15s I'm quite pleased that I don't have to go as far as five o'clock shadow - out of interest, how did you do it?

I add a little blue to a mid skin tone, then add a little white and just blend it in around the beard line.
