On checking the dates of my posts I note I haven't posted anything this month. This is despite continuing to add (albeit gradually) to the Jacobite forces. And notably, I realised I had been painting more or less all the 'non-Scottish' elements of the Jacobite army.
I also managed to get a game in with near neighbour Martin, Sharp Practice 2 (SP2) set in the American War of Independence. Having not played SP2 for a while, this was very much a baby-steps exercise for both of us. Luckily, Martin is a quick learner, and I am sure he will be keeping me on the straight and narrow in future games.
Anyway, on to the painting...

I am now actually starting to get to the point where a few more groups will make it possible to run a small game.. I'm very much looking forward to that.
Great units Doug and so am I 😉
ReplyDeleteWell so far, it's a couple of groups of highlanders, groups of De Lally and Royal Ecossais plus an artillery piece. On the Government side, really just one group of the 21st, the Dragoons and an artillery piece. So a bit to go yet.
DeleteGrand brushwork, Doug! Hope to see these on the gaming table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. It's been a slow burn project, but I'm very much enjoying seeing the units come to life.
DeleteNice to see some of the English who fought on the right side.
ReplyDeleteEnglish, Irish, French, nowadays all just 'New Scots' :)
DeleteLooking forward to seeing photos of the forthcoming game.
ReplyDeleteSo am I! It's been three years in the making so far...
DeleteA beautiful selection of figures Doug, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteWillz Harley.
Thanks Willz, I would have sent them in for the VWC if I had thought I would make it. But maybe by September I will be able to get some pics of them in action.
DeleteThey look great, looks like you’ve found a technique for painting tartan that works very well. Lovely project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I suspect by the time I finish painting this lot I will have a few Tartan Recipes I am happy with.. 😊
