Another ECW unit from the painting table

Before heading off to the airport, during that frustrating time when at a loose end waiting to go to the airport, I was able to finish basing another English Civil War (ECW) foot unit. This brings the number of units completed to 5 (3 foot and 2 mounted) of the intended total of 32 units. It keeps me at my self imposed target of completing 1 unit per week.

My interim aim is to get 3 foot, 1 artillery, 1 dragoon, and 3 mounted painted per army as soon as I can. A combined total of 16 units. This size force will allow me to start playing a few small scale games using One-Hour Wargaming rules (or variant).  For me painting units always seems to get easier once an army is in use and I am just adding to an armies size.

    1. Thank you. I am looking forward to my interim target of 18 units completed so I can start with a few small games on the tabletop.

    1. Thank you. Unfortunately it is a break rather than a holiday. Doing painting of the house kind rather than models.
