I have just finished painting lots of ECW cavalry, 24 Peter Pig 15mm's for customer John, (I refer to him as 'Young John' so not to confuse with 'Old John!), and 58 Epic ECW's for Noel. Really enjoying working on all of these and if you may be interested my latest short video on my YouTube channel takes a close look at both and how they match up for scale (link is up now on my 'channel link page).
Below: Epic ECW - 4 regiments of 'Horse' a unit of Dragoons and a regiment of Cuirassiers.
Battle Cry.
As it's been quite a bash I'm going to take it easy over the weekend as work on terrain additions for my Battle Cry project. I have the cards printed now on nice Buff card and am waiting for plastic sleeves for them. The 'printer friendly' downloads are rather nice I think with crisp clear text (see pic). I wasn't happy with the cornfield that I made as a test as thought it just looked like the troops were standing behind a low hedge so I knocked up a print version (below) which was better but needed some texture! So far I'm happy with the result and will make a matching insert that can be removed when troops are placed inside. Must say I'm enjoying playing around with the terrain hexes.
I would like to add more artillery and cavalry to the armies in due course and it came to mind the other day whilst watching a YouTube game of 1st Bull Run that I'd like to paint up some of those early fancy uniforms, maybe using the Epic Iron Brigade set (if I can get my hands on any).
