Okay, well actually it's the TAG TYW personality figure of Marshal Tilly... Having bigged them up, I thought I ought to paint one.

I think I will get them all...

For me, he is Tilly no longer, but will serve as March Warden in my Reiver battles... I'm loving the ruff...

Excellent stuff as ever Cap'n

Don't we all like a bit of ruff?

Very nice! The Coaching Inn makes a great backdrop!

Delightful. Lovely painting, great photo too with the beautiful inn in the background.

Very much looking forward to seeing these figures and playing on the terrain soon

Border reivers... hmmm.... mix in some highland cattle raiders, some royal dragoons, and you may actually have a setting fit for a LotR Battle Companies historical variant on the lines of LotOW and LotHS.....

You've got to stop doing this to me! I love your painting style, fantastic work as always.

Ah. That Catholic swine Tilly, who I grew up to hate after reading the Swedish TYW classic 'The heroes of the Yellow Brigade'.

Very nice work

Indeed a very nice work.

I wish I could paint (and taking photos) like you!

Wow, splendid - very nice model too, besides the grand paint job. He looks as self-satisfied as a cat.

Oops, I've only just seen him

Lovely figure and I can see why you like their range so much!

I take it that as a "March Warden" he is [in theory at least] the government's "policeman" in the borders?

If so, I wonder just how honest and upright he is, judging by the expensive-looking armour. Surely he wouldn't stoop to indulging in reiving himself to get some extra income.........

How true - he really is too fine for a March Warden, but I now have a compulsive habit of acquiring any and all late Tudor/Stewart era personality figures as character figures for my various games. Poor old Tilly is now The March Warden. Gustavus Adolphus (who arrived this morning with a culverin, a load of gabions, artillerymen, and those TAG mounted carabins) is going to be recast as a reiving Crozier or an Armstrong (sorry about that, Hammers, Rhoderic and other Swedish colleagues

) Although he may well also double as a royalist colonel for my rapidly expanding ECW collection...

On the subject of which, for anyone else who may have missed some of these recent pictures, should you care to take a look, I've loaded a batch of shots into a new ECW section on my LAF gallery here...
