It is inspirational work like this that made me sign up to LAF when I discovered it a couple of weeks ago.  I need to dust off my ECW collection and give it a good revamp as it was painted and based many years ago and is looking a bit tired.

They have given me many a fun couple of hours using "1644" which are not perfect but are entertaining.

Sometimes you need a push to get on and do something and your figures certainly do that.

Cheers

Johno

Very nice brushwork. They'll look even better with a few more regiments to keep them company on the table.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Really nice set of photos of a lovely regiment. I love the Perry miniatures ECW but they are a bit small and can take a lot of cleaning up. They are very reasonably priced though...

You will find the TAG miniatures to be similarly styled but a little taller, although a fairly good match (IMHO). I mix the Warlord plastics too although I am the least keen on these.

Great stuff  :-*

Are the round bases for casualties or moral?

Not being that familiar with Black Powder for ECW am I right in thinking each command base tracks hits on the different wings of Shot and the Pike block seperately from the other ?

Neat idea sinking those die into the terrain, simple but effective and no danger of forgetting to drag them along behind the unit which I have sometimes done !!

Hi Johno,

Thanks and yes in Pike and Shotte (Black Powder Rules for ECW)  each wing and the pike block is a separate unit, so you need to track all of them. 

Im not convinced the rules are creating the right effect as you end up having all these small units running around.

But its a fun game non the less.
