I’ve been busy with other hobbies but managed to complete three units of Parliamentarian foot. They were first fielded a couple of days ago, in a game hosted by Captain Blood. All the terrain and other minis are from Captain Blood’s magnificent collection.

My three units are all from the entirely fictitious Colonel Sir Quentin Gibbs’ greencoats.

In the foreground, the Command unit of Aggressive Forlorn Hope, standing back and doing their commanding:



The shotte of a unit of Forlorn Hope advancing towards the cover of a cottage garden where they will pour lead into an enemy cavalry unit, eventually wiping it out (including the killing of Lady Lucinda, one of the King’s commanders):



A unit of Commanded Shot who against all that is sensible managed to get caught in the open by Lady Lucinda’s Gallopers and were promptly wiped out:



I’ll post up proper images of both units when I have a chance.

Thanks chaps.  :)

The three finished Parliamentarian units in close up:



All are Bicorne or Renegade minis, though quite a few are conversions using mostly Warlord Games plastic parts. The project is configured for The Pikeman’s Lament though for my purposes I’m including in each unit an Officer with sash. To help me keep track of who belongs where, members of 6 man units will all wear gloves while 12 man units will be gloveless. I don’t like Montero Caps (yuk!) and so they are swapped out, with the replacement head or hat being from either Bicorne or Warlord.

TOP:

Colonel Sir Quention Gibbs and his Companions (Aggressive Forlorn Hope)

The Colonel is distinguished by being the only mini in his regiment that will be hatless. He’s actually a conversion of a Bicorne pikeman at port, and matches a mounted version of himself (of which more soon). The flag bearer is also a converted Bicorne pikeman while the two bills are Renegade pikemen with their arms reconfigured. The flag bears the Regimental Motto, which is ‘Justice And Liberty’ (hand-painted in Latin).

MIDDLE:

Mr Oliver Rennell and his Shotte (Forlorn Hope)

The soldiers are all Bicorne dismounted dragoons, which have a nice mix of poses and are easily distinguished. The Officer is from the same set but has been converted to add the Warlord helmet (he was originally bare headed) and pistol.

BOTTOM:

Mr Frederik Caulfield and his Shotte (Commanded Shot)

All are Bicorne. The Officer and one of the soldiers (at far right) are  converted pikemen.
