Very nice indeed. The First Corps range looks interesting. I just wish they'd bring out some infantry in a greater variety of pose.

Great photos! I really like the way you have the regiments organised with the 4 bases; what size are they?

Thanks Gents- I agree Paul I'd like to see more variation as  well

Based for "For King and Parliament" rules - base sizes are 85mm wide and 70mm deep though the command base is more shallow
I just wish I'd added a few more musketeers to the bases though

Very nice! I reckon you could add a couple of minis to each base, easily enough.

Thanks Gents for the encouragement

I think I will do Simon, I reduced the number because the regiments I painted by Empress ones seemed too cluttered  with 10 on a base but they also had musket rests. I also felt it was away of reducing cost but on on reflection that doesn't that sensible and I also made a mistake in calculating the numbers when I made the order

Just an update with Royalist Regiments painted to date, 1 more to go - all on the blog https://valleyboyinnz.wordpress.com/2022/03/23/english-civil-war-royalist-infantry/

Here they are


The first 3 regiments are from Empress Miniatures
Allan Apsley's Regiment



Edward Stradling's Regiment


Anthony Thellwell's Regiment


The next is a generic regiment from First Corps Miniatures


The Pike are held rather than grounded and I hope well be OK after being attached with epoxy


Next is Colonel John Talbot's Regiment another from First Corps


Lord Hopton's Regiment


with the 3rd First Corps Regiment being The Duke of York's Regiment



Next another Generic regiment this time a plastic one from Warlord Games
Can't really say I enjoyed painting these and the lack of flags doesn't help


Moving on to the last 2 from Bicorne Miniatures
Charles Gerard's Regiment


The pike are grounded and I wonder if might take rougher handling in the long term


Finally The Kings Lifeguard

My Favourite pose is the Musketeer at order pose

Flags are by Flags of War



I have a set of flags for John Lamplugh's regiment left and enough Bicorne figures undercoated t complete this and I think that will be enough Royalist foot for now though I have painted another Warlord Pikeblock and am trying to motivate myself to paint the associated musketeers
