Covenanters!
Dux Homunculorum actual here!
It has been a long time since I've done anything on our ECW project, but with Paul heading back to the same hemisphere soon it's time to get cracking. To get some runs on the board I've been painting Covenanter infantry, and nice and simple they are after the army of Republican Romans in 28mm I've been painting over the past few months.
I've altered my painting style on these little chaps compared to my last lot of English troops. I've generally gone for lighter shades and haven't used any washes. What do you think?
Oh and Paul - don't call them rebels. They're the forces of the Scottish government, right?!

Parlimentarian Horse and Command bases
Look like I neglected to publish pics of these earlier this year when they were done by Alan. Kindly permit me to correct that omission now:
Meanwhile, I am searching for something to use as a 6mm poodle so I can make my Prince Rupert stand with Boye at his side!

Friends by the Sword Divided
So here begins the adventures of Alan, aka Dux Homunculorum, and Paul of the Man Cave as we delve into wargaming the English Civil War in 6mm. Being a rebellious rapscallion, Alan aspires to command the New Model Army, while I am more of the Loyalist type and shall stay in His Majesty's service.
To date Alan has done the lion's share including painting both armies (using all Baccus figures). You see, this is a year of preparation as we temporarily dwell in different countries. With time in hand to paint and model, we hope to be able to get on with it when we again live in the same hemisphere next year.
The en mass look is rather cool - in fact, its what 6mm gaming is all about!
For rules we are currently undecided- Baccus's ECW Polemos or maybe the Basic Baroque (See here) as I know Alan really likes Impetus. Of course there are many other options out there so we will see what happens. Whatever happens, its going to be fun!
We plan in due course to post pics of models, book reviews and historical tid-bits as we find and enjoy them. Aspirations to battle reports and even a campaign one day also. Much more to follow using a timetable on the more brandy infused end of the flexible spectrum.
