Warfare Miniatures

This section is to show off the first of what will be many figures from my mate Barry Hilton's wonderful range of figures for the late 17th century and the flags are by the equally talented Clarence Harrison.
These figures have been painted up as the Earl of Antrim's regiment
who fought in Ireland in the 1690's for King James II.
This light gun is also fighting for the Irish.
This is what I've painted so far but King James and a stand of dismounted dragoons
are already well on their way to completion.
I've also painted up this cemetery to represent the one at Donore at the Boyne.
The Bhoys are back in town and thin Lizzie is there with some whiskey in the Jarro.
This shows a nice shot of Clarence's flags and some Irish hovels I built.

All these figures and plenty more along with Clarence's flags and rules
can all be bought online from Barry's site.

There's also a great online forum where can find lots of other gamers pics
and plenty of information on this period.

    Clarence has done a fantastic job on the flags and they really make the units stand out.

    Dave, all looking great! Antrim's Redshanks eh... reputedly composed of McDonnell's from Scotland all over 6 feet tall! I look forward to seeing them in person.

    Blog looks great incidentally, although if you keep including Colin's 'Babes' you might get blocked by a few filters here and there! :)

      So far I haven't heard yoo mention getting female battalions designed for this range so at these posts won't get filtered out but Colin has always been interested in the Irish wars so perhaps we can tempt him.

    Very nice work, David! Flags and bases make all look better, I think you told me... The units are small though are n't they?

      The units are roughly 18-24 figures for an infantry unit and cavalry come in squadrons of 6 figures but some regiments had as many as 4 squadrons so it can start to add up. The figure scale for the units at this size is 1:40 but if you want to fight smaller actions involving a couple of battalions a side then each of these units then become a company so you end up with units of over 100 figures.

    Thanks Phil, that's a nice compliment coming from a talented painter such as yourself, it also helps my painting if I really like the figures and these are gorgeous.
