ParticipantI have returned to my English Civil War project: painting my way through two battalia boxes. The last of the infantry regiments, this one with red coats.
More pictures on my blog.

ParticipantVery nice (and great photos too!). Pike formations in 28mm do kinda look nice…

ParticipantLovely setting for a nice unit.

ParticipantBeautiful looking regiment, RR! They look very fine in their red coats. As BBS says, a nice unit of pike and shot surely does warm the cockles of your heart 🙂 .

ParticipantThank you boys!

ParticipantNice!!
Do you guys tend to favour painting the britches the same colour as the jackets? I’m not sure if I’m right doing some matching and using an assortment of browns/greys for some too!

ParticipantI paint the trousers a variety of greys and browns. The odd time I paint pants red and officers get matching coats and pants to mark out how fancy they are ;).
As an aside, I have been looking at some contemporary (sort of- early 17th C) Dutch military paintings and one thing that has struck me is lack of uniforms.

ParticipantAh cool. Out of interest. How did you rank your pikemen?
Part of me is tempted to use two of my infantry boxes and have 12 charging/charged pikes in one unit (3 ranks deep) with the command stand at the back and use the 12 upright pikes in a second unit with the command stand in the front and have the unarmoured bodies as more of a trained bands unit.

ParticipantThe red regiment is three ranks of 5 but my other regiments have their pike in 4 ranks of 4.
Here is Tiller’s (green coats) finished in 2014:
Rupert’s Foot, also from 2014:
A pike block from a generic ‘grey’ regiment from 2015 (for some reason I don’t have a regiment picture with the shotte):

ParticipantGreat regiments!!
More please!

ParticipantI especially like the variety, as well as the masterful brush work, in that grey regiment. Great stuff!

ParticipantMore nice foot.
More, we want more 😉

ParticipantI am *this close* to finishing the last unit (a cavalry squadron) from the second Battalia box set so a mile stone will be reached. Once that is done I will set them all up on the parade ground for some photos.

ParticipantAnd it’s done! A regiment of Royalist cavalry:
That means that I have two completely painted Battalia Box Sets done now:
