Dog Rough Soldiers - Norman Church

dare I ask, is that the...Dead centre of town? 

Looks very nice David.

Hmmmmm🥴

Ok, so time for a few minis then……forgive my mediocre attempt at painting monsters, but here are the two hapless Mancs (one pikeman no doubt and an officer) that have been turned!



I suppose I’d best paint a few “dog” soldiers next….

Great thread, lovely scenery and minis

They work well

fab modelling, painting ... and photo!

[Digits]

Thank you chaps, appreciated!

So, I give you “Dog Rough Soldiers”!

I based these on my own regiment in the SK, the Earl of Manchester’s…..and the name tickles me!

I just painted a handful for now to see if I enjoyed it.  Painting ECW has never really appealed, I get to play it 1:1 scale.  However, for a light skirmish game, they are ok.  A mix here but I do like the Bloody Miniatures fellas.

They look superb and you have a lovely terrain set up.

[Bloggard]

well, I know a lot don't agree with me (which I still find baffling tbh), but these are the kind of photos / set-ups that should be extensively illustrating Miniatures Rule-books.

Just fantastic.

Terrific photos, the hedges work best I think, they add to the creepy overgrown feel you want for a bit of Horror gaming. That's not to say the fences don't work! I just like the idea of a tumble down, graveyard surrounded by thorny out of control hedgerows!

I have some of the superb Bloody Miniatures and am seriously contemplating moving them up the painting queue as this is inspiring me to do some ECW era horror gaming...

[Digits]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Yes the Bloody Miniatures are really cool minis.   Personally, I’m looking forward to the third release minis, I think I can use those from what I’ve seen.

I’m debating painting the dismounted cavalry next….or maybe a witch……..anyway, we will see.

The Bloody Miniatures are lovely,
& you have done them justice.
The pictures, as has been said, should be
in Rule Books & Magazine articles.
Like others I will be influenced by this &
move my BM figs. up the paint queue.

Shan't give them a 'Silly name' like
'Manchester's'. I am thinking of a
name with far more gravitas...
Tower Hamlets, yes, that is it.

[Digits]

Gravitas???

From Urban Dictionary….

“Tower hamlets is place of drug dealing,violence and highest knife crime population in the eastend” - lovely!

[tikitang]

A really beautiful setup!

OK it has gone down hill since Eaglestone was in charge.

During the English Civil War Manchester strongly favoured the Parliamentary interest. Although not long-lasting, Cromwell granted it the right to elect its own MP. Charles Worsley, who sat for the city for only a year, was later appointed Major General for Lancashire, Cheshire and Staffordshire during the Rule of the Major Generals. He was a diligent puritan, turning out ale houses and banning the celebration of Christmas; he died in 1656.[30]

Wot no Christmas & no Pubs !!!!! Lets go back to Tower Hamlets.
