I've finally completed the batch of ECW commanders so, here they are with my shepherd who has now been joined by his dog - it's meant to be a Border Collie.
Well maybe they're not all that magnificent, but even the original seven had a few make-weights; I mean who remembers Harry Luck? But here's a who's who of these guys.
But I guess not everyone is satisfied.
As my rules use card activation of commanders, and all the troops under their command, I've also made the necessary cards.
For those that are interested, all the figures are by Hinchliffe, except the Warbases dog. Byron, Wentworth, Fielding and Heselrige have all had head swaps; Byron also had a new right hand with pistol added. Byron was painted to match this portrait by William Dobson, complete with a patch on his left cheek to cover the scar from a wound received on the 30th December 1642 when his quarters in Burford were beaten up by Parliamentarian Horse and Dragoons from Sudeley.
All that then remained was to make up their cards for the activation system in my rules mash-up.
And as it's now only two sleeps to Christmas, may I wish all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
A beautiful collection of command figures. I do like their cards, they look very professional.
ReplyDeleteCheers, I print them out on A4 sized label sheets, cut them out and stick them on playing cards. Merry Christmas.
