Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.

I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.

10mm ECW Royalist Rgts for Edgehill. (For King and Parliament rules

 Well I have to say that that was £50 well invested. I have sold some 15mm mostly bare metal old British Napoleonics so I decided to invest in improving my photography and I'm well chuffed! Lighting in photography does make all the difference so as soon as the light box arrived I just had to give it a go. Having painted up another two regiments of 10mm ECW for 'King and Parliament' rules, in this case the two royalist Lord General's units I took pictures of both these and the King's Lifeguard of foot regiment again as a comparison to the last post. Note that the King's Lifeguard of foot are a 'Standard Battalia', 1/3 pike - 2/3 shotte, while the Lord General's are 'Pike-Heavy as donated by the extra pike added.

If you recall the idea is to use physically small units in 10mm in order to utilise my table at home. I could never do this with 28mm figures. I haven't a clue what colour uniform (if indeed they had a uniform) or flag these chaps had but then I suspect that no one else knows either as info is sparing to say the least. However mixed blues with other colours thrown in seemed a good idea at the time. If someone pops up on here and tells me different then I will be polite but curse their knowledge under my breath! All figures are Pendraken.













A start at least.

Dave.
