Re: lowland Scots troops. I've used the "Mercenaries" box to do some Scots; admittedly the household retainers of Bell the Cat, so probably considerably better equipped than most, and would most probably have access to blackpowder weapons. However, there are sufficient "unarmoured" bodies in amongst it to represent your common-or-garden "sodjer", and most importanly, pikes! (Lots of pikes!)

Plan A was originally to do the Army of James II at Roxburgh (mainly as an excuse to do lots of cannon and arquebusiers, and mangle a metal figure to represent the unfortunate Jimmy 2.0 after his inspection of the artillery...), however, it's sort of morphed into it's current form as something intended for gaming Sauchieburn (once I find some decent references...)

very much a work-in-progress...

Well spotted Phil, the pikemen/billmen are just what I was picturing, as opposed the somewhat tidier and more fashionable types in the plastics range.

The box contains 38 multi-part plastic figures, 17 flags, unit bases and information sheet.

I do hope to see the command sprue sold separately.
It's nothing, sir. Just a burn from a ray gun.

Mine too..... I got so excited I glued some of them together there and then (Sorry Nick- your mini's will be ready as I promised!).

I'll get my camera out tonight after some undercoating and take some proper pics- might even add a splash of paint as I'm painting Medieval's for a client at present.

Darrell.
