A wonderful set of figures - great to see such nice figures for this period and campaign.

They look excellent, especially the command figures. Great work!

I have "Irregular Wars" for when I get to this period but I am intrigued by Sharply Buffed, as I like the look of Sharp Practise and did not know about its spinoff.

I will bear it in mind, perhaps for smaller actions like Deputy's Pass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Deputy%27s_Pass

Look forward to seeing the future forces and their actions.

Really digging this project. It's my personal favorite period, as well, though my focus is in the Low Countries.

To be gratuitously selfish in my response, if you're interested in the smaller size skirmish games (e.g. from 12-36 figures/side) and have an interest in more narrative games and mechanics, I'm currently closed playtesting a set of rules for the era. Will be sending out the next playtest later this month.

Shoot me a PM or email if interested in testing them or being added to the mailing list once they get out in the wild.
Focused on 6mm pike and shot and 28mm Frostgrave

Have you looked at Warlord Games' Wars of Religion figures? They're lovely sculpts (Paul Hicks) but on the smaller side so probably won't fit well with the Hoka Hey or Foundry Swashbuckler figures, but might work with TAG figures.

Hi Paul, I think if I had not already bought an painted all the Hoka Hey and Foundry I would have gone for Warlord as it is though I do think they will be too small.

Following up this thread with a link to a post on my Irish for the project, not far of complete although I may add some Scots Mercenary Redshanks.

Lots of images on the blog https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/2021/04/review-of-elizabethan-irish.html
