The next release from Bloody Miniatures may well include a pack of disreputable looking moss troopers in Dutch coats, floppy hats, and armed to the teeth

Excellent brushwork by Redzed - any chance he will appear and share his triad?

Another period you have stirred a lot of people’s interest in Captain Blood!
Unfortunately my lead mountain is still too high to start a new period 😕

have been heavily into late C17 during lockdown, mainly due to a batch of Dixon's Sedgemoor figures that came very cheap via ebay and some scenario PDFs that I picked up for Beneath the Lily Banners/War of the 3 Kings rules.

But if you are looking at skirmishes, have you tried the Donnybrook rules?
Reasonably simple (have used them with an after school club) and quite quirky

Thanks Gary. Yes, I have had a couple of games of Donnybrook. Not bad at all. On balance, I think I prefer the idiotproof simplicity of The Pikeman’s Lament, but Donnybrook probably has a little more period flavour, and especially for this particular era :)

there's also a "Donnybrook at Sea" supplement now to add messing about in boats...

look forward to the Lorna Doone project. Your take on a miniature Exmoor should be something to see.

Helion have just brought out a book on the Anglo-Spanish war 1655-60 in the Caribbean.

Any chance of some suitable (almost "Captain Blood" era) colonial types joining the lists?

Very interesting and a period I have thought about but never gamed. Even though I have a Dixon army.

A belated thank you for the comments from several months ago! (Sorry ::))

I've added a few more characters...

The baby-eating Bishop of Munster, from the North Star 1672 range (a Steve Saleh sculpt I believe), accompanied by his faithful otter hound - which is another of Mr. Atter's wonderful 'Dagshounds'. Sniffing out heretics and apostates!

Actually, this character looks so much like The Witchfinder General, he's probably going to see much more use in that capacity in my ECW games. But as, strictly speaking, he's later C17th, I'm putting him in this thread...








Then three more civvy types. The fellow in blue is a Front Rank supernumerary, who appears in their Late C17th section, but is actually just lifted from one of their C18th ranges, which is why his coat is rather more 1745 than 1675, but still.

The other two are from the North Star 1672 range, the civilians pack, again (I believe) by Steve Saleh. The two ladies from this pack are already somewhere in my neverending ECW project thred :)





And here they are together... 'Seen any witches around here?' ;)
