Dutch Blue Guards

A work in progress image of the guards inspired by my visit to Oldbridge. It will be a 24man battalion when done. Figures are all Front Rank miniatures.

The Boyne Valley

The start of a new project?  Finn and I have been enjoying a long weekend exploring the Boyne Valley by visiting Drogheda, Oldbridge and Newgrange with our Irish friends the Boshell family.

On my return... I'll make a start to that Dutch Blue Guards Regiment that I have always wanted to do.

 More work on the Crécy project.

Late Romans... Again

Some single based Late Romans. These will get their first outing in a "Dux Britanniarum"  game on the 15th.

Austrian reorganisation

With a big Seven Years War game in the planning for the 10th of June, I have spent most of the morning reorganising my Austrian army into 20 man battalions.

I really should add some heavy Cavalry at some point.
We will be using Black Power rules and I'll post images of the game as it unfolds.

After getting some of the "League of Augsburg" uniform and period guides for the "Battle of the Boyne".

I was itching to paint something from the period. I looked around the house and found some Front Rank artillery figures that I have decided to paint up as English or Irish Williamite troops.

Claymore Castings will be trading at the Carronade show in Falkirk tomorrow. We will have discounted prices on all our packs as a show special. Look for us at the end of the "Contemptible Bs" medieval demonstration game in hall 1.
