English Civil War - Edward Montagu's Regiment of Foote (Part 3)

Time to start painting my English Civil War regiment, that of Edward Montagu.

I'm using for reference 'The English Civil War 1642-1651, An Illustrated Military History' by Philip Haythornwaite and first published by Blandford Press in 1983. Reliable sources for uniforms of the period are a bit sketchy and I'm not too concerned in total realism, so I'm using a colour plate from the book which presents Montagu's regiment as wearing a crimson jacket with various browns and leathers for other gear.

The result is this test model, very simply done with base coats including predominantly Blood Red and Khemri Brown with a Devlan Mud wash - I'm not spending alot of time on each model as they'll be in big units, so lots of them.



So thats Roundheads 1 - Cavaliers 0, come on Tim or your gonna lose the war before it's started!

Hobby Fund (1st June)

Well that went pretty well, some sales, including a few on ebay saw an income of almsot £120 for the hobby fund, which combined with the chunk left in it at the start of May has let me pay off the Reaver in full now putting it firmly in the black. I also treated myself to a pre-order on one of the new Imperial Guard Manticore kits, but combined with a discount voucher and accumilated 'money back' from Maelstrom it only cost £19.00 - even better!

I'm planning on updating my sales list this month, I've a few more bits and pieces to add, but I'm also going to start hunting down a few new bits as well to help finish my Plague Marine army - that said I'm going to avoid any serious spends until the summer now, when it'll be time to sort myself out a gaming table.
