Flags of War 28mm Jacobites

Hi all,
Backed this kickstarter year before last, and now the figures are here, I'm now working out why I wanted to paint tarten again!
All flags and figures by Iain at Flags of War, and awesome they are too.

Fifteen days since the last update, the muse must have struck!

Bagot's Hussars (a single pack and an officer, they are a tiny unit in Black Powder), artillery and Colonel Anne MacKintosh that completes the Jacobite forces, will move onto Government forces at some point (it's ony taken 10 years to get this far).


She's definitely in the wrong place!


Move them


Definitely the last line of defense, if this lot end up fighting it's game over!


We'll just watch you do your thing.

Wow! Two years since I've updated these.
Three units of 28mm Jacobite Highlanders done!
Lord Lovat's Regiment


Not happy!


Aggressive


Get 'em lads!




MacDonnell of Glengarry Regiment


Charge!


It's like they heard someone put sugar on their porridge!

Was their Irn Bru warm or something?


Off we go!

The whole batch in column


New unit of Lowlanders added, slowly working may way through the backlog!



The iron was hot, so I carried on, this time with Royal Ecossaires and command figures.


1st Battalion





2nd Battlion (historically they didn't have the uniform, but hey, I had spare figures).



Personalities, an officer with claymore, MacDonald of Clanranald, John Roy Stuart



HRH James Edward Stuart - Bonnie Prince Charly!


Jamie Fraser, The Red Fox

Tartan detail

The batch now

What with the current isolation, and after 13 months, I came back to this little lot.
Four units of Highlanders. This was, to be honest, something I was dreading, especially the tartan. Thankfully, Iain left a useful painting guide on his Kickstarter, and once I got underway, it was game on! 

These have four bases to a unit, as larger units and ferocious charges too.
McPherson and Atholl.

All three units (McPherson, Atholl and MacDonald of Clanranald)


Rear view in an attempt to show the tartan, but the light was against me.

And a front view. Close up.

Four Lowlanders and three highlanders done, they will be joined by two Battlions of Royal Ecosse and some characters next, and after the present unplesentness, it will be joined by one more Lowlander and two more Highlanders.

So, based to fit with a friend down the club (not how I would do them, but life is a compromise) to play Black Powder, the first three units of Lowlanders (these may expand to four soon) are done. The Lowlanders will be smaller units, as they will deploy in line and platoon fire, as opposed to highland charges!
Updated the Lowlanders with 9 more figures that gives me four units. I also discovered I have enough trooper figures for another unit, so another update soon!
Three new stands


And with their units.


The original batch.

On the way to Derby, or on the return?

 Third Regiment, they will get colours one year.

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He will be

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be
