Here is my second regiment of Montrose Irish this time advancing and loading. The figures are once again the fantastic Bicorne ECW range. The flag is from Flags of War where the generous Ian sent me free enlarged ones to replace the smaller ones I had. The old ones were very nice, but the new ones are even better both in quality and size. Thanks again Ian if your reading!!
The principle behind this regiment is the same as the other one I did in that I took quite a few liberties in my impression of the hard fighting Irish Brigade and thus is not an attempt on a direct reflection of what they looked like, but I still hope it comes off looking if not exact then somewhat believable.
I'm looking to shift into the Scottish portion of the army soon with Renegade and Redoubt figures making up the lion share of those regiments, but I probably will come back and do a third Irish regiment at some point. I'm not sure if I want to paint tartans on my Scots as that's horribly time consuming!
Thanks for viewing!:-)

ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Fran! If they had some cool lucky dice with a certain logo they may even win....>:-)(I had to make feeble begging attempt on you too now didn't I)
DeleteChristopher
They are amazing mate. Do you mind if i use them in my gallery when i get it up and running?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Ian and of course you can! That's the least I can do to return your favour and not to mention I'd be proud to have my figures displayed in your gallery.:-)
DeleteChristopher
Superb painting and basing. Great colours too. The Bicorne figures are rather nice arn't they! I posted a pic of my Bicorne stuff last night. For the ECW Bicorne figures
ReplyDeletejust look the biz!
Thank you very much! Just checked yours out very nice.
DeleteChristopher
Gorgeous work! Makes me want to dig up my Redoubt ECW stuff from the 'lead reserve' and get a couple units done...
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt and I'd really like to see you do just that!
DeleteChristopher
Wonderful Chris just wonderful, well done to you.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Helen
Thank you Helen that's very kind.
DeleteChristopher
Beautiful unit Chris. The green is just great. And then to think these Montrose Irish are the only figures I ever sold :-(
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael!
DeleteChristopher
ooooooh very nice, this is going to be a fine looking army. Well done Christopher.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Tarty!
DeleteChristopher
Another wonderful looking unit Christopher. My knowledge of this period is fairly limited so whatever liberties you took with the uniforms/colors escapes me, but I know I really like what you've done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Well I left off tartans and changed the top from a grey to green and kept them with long pikes intend of shortened ones for example.
DeleteChristopher
Irish, beautiful and green, what a lovely bunch! Here's hoping that on the tabletop, they prove that God loves the Irish! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Monty and I hope the divine is with them too!
DeleteChristopher
Beautiful painting, basing and photos of your Montrose Irish, Christopher. I have quite a few ECW Bicorne - great figures.
ReplyDeleteThank you they are excellent figures if a bit pricey, but worth it I think.
DeleteChristopher
Fantastic looking unit Christopher. Lovely painting and basing.

ReplyDeleteThanks Captain I appreciate the kind words!
DeleteChristopher
What a fantastic looking unit. The figures, flags, painting and pictures are all superb. Looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Silver! Just got my Scots in the mail so they should be the next thing up for this army.
DeleteChristopher
A fantastic unit, Christopher, many compliments for it. I'm temted to start yet another era and dip my toe into pike and shot...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tobi and that would just give us another period option to do.:-)
DeleteChristopher
Great work Christoper!
ReplyDeleteThanks Willie!
DeleteChristopher
Those look ridiculously good! I've been tempted by the ECW and the 1664 rules, but haven't made the leap yet!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Cory!
DeleteI own 1664 rules they are decent, but I prefer Pike and Shotte. Check it out if you have not already.
Christopher
Chris, those are absolutely superb - impossible to imagine an Irish ECW regiment done any better, to be honest. Looking forward to seeing the Scots (tartan ain't that bad, really!).
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Giles
Thank you very much Giles! I hope your right on the tartan!
DeleteChristopher
