English Civil War ...
« on: January 21, 2019, 03:28:56 PM »
I've always wanted to game the English Civil War.  Played in an occasional historical miniatures game covering battles in the era, although haven't gotten a round to doing up some figures for it yet.  I've started some Thirty Years War figures for the Imperials, which could perhaps cross over into an English Civil war game at some point, but we'll see.

In the meantime, is a link to a site that has some pictures of some English Civil War reenactors ...

Really nice find, thank you.

If you look at the earlier posts there are some nice looking 15mm armies being assembled and some painting guides.

Wow from that same site ... this looks great!

Although in its last day for pledging ... I've bought into these figures because of their quality ...

I didn't previously imagine doing this era in 15mm, but those figures were difficult to pass up!
