Those look fantastic. I quite like the russet hats- I never thought of using that colour for wide brimmed hats; I am going to pinch that. :D
Thanks that's fine by me particularly as I pinched your church idea from your blog a year or more ago lol

Those look fabulous - they are lovely figures and that’s a great paint job.  Hope to get to mine soon. 👍

A bit of an update....

I've finally managed to make a start on my ECW Parliamentarian infantry
Of the 3 regiments I based this afternoon there is one from First Corps, another from Bicorne and the final one from Richard's lovely Bloody Miniatures range
In the first picture below, the left the Earl of Essex's regiment is from Bicorne Miniatures with Bloody Miniatures on the right and First Corps behind





First Corps lead the way, this is a generic regiment with flags by Flags of War

Maybe the odd First Corps figure has also crept into this Bicorne Regiment!



These two ranges really are interchangeable I think




The First Corps range is really nice and takes paint easily, I'm hoping they'll produce more options in time




The Bloody Miniatures range  is just superb though, this is the regiment of Foote deal with a few extra packs added as I'm keen on 12 pike per regiment
John Pickering's Regiment of Foote







How do they all compare? a couple of side by sides
Command



Pike - Bloody Miniatures pike are a little thicker than North Star spears

and finally shot
There's a really nice variation in the Bloody Miniatures range





Next up I hope will be some cavalry as I'm currently painting horses with some urgency

Thanks all
Buildings are from Printable scenery Codsticker
I tried to get some variation in colour in the coats in Pickering's regiment as well but it got undone by the black wash!

Excellent collection. A much more impressive foray into the ECW than my meagre efforts. My re-enactment mates from Pickering's Regiment will be pleased to see themselves in miniature.
