ECW Dragoons

[Radar]

That would probably equate to every dragoon who took the field during the first civil war.

Pics for the first three packs up now, and very nice they look too.

They are indeed very nice. I especially like the hurrying Dragoons. Eager to make that hedge before the enemy no doubt.

[Radar]

Clearly those new dragoons are levellers, as signified by the green dice.

[Sean Clark]

How appropriate!

Mounted dragoon command have gone from 'soon' to having a sparkly 'new' icon, and there are new cuirassier (with plume and sash) packs listed as 'soon' too.
Clearly the elves at the Peter Pig workshop are being kept busy.

The new mounted dragoons are off to Mike in the workshop onTuesday. He will have them ready fr the end of the week.  These are one piece sculpts once again.
Will get pictures done too soon.
Then on to  VC.

Thanks Martin.

Now that the mounted command are out (very nice), I have worked out my order for Vapnartak. Presenting them on foot with horseholders and a mounted command stand.

Correct bases have arrived (am I alone in loving the smell of laser cut MDF bases?), flags designed/researched and arrived. Waller's (Parliament) and Sir Thomas Tyldesley's (Royalist) will be taking to the table sometime before Easter.

Just a small matter of 4 regiments of foot to paint  now (I've drilled out the lowland pike hands, must be getting better 100% success rate and 100% of fingers/thumbs uninjured).

[Leslie BT]

Well done Radar. Good to hear you have drilled them all out and you are uninjured!!

[martin goddard]

Think there is an article on the way about dragoons, paint, basing  and making/useage of the units??

[Radar]

If I can find the info about how they were used historically (other than Okey's), and I am happy with it, then sure.

[Radar]

Just tried to place my Vapnartak order and noticed that the mounted command packs haven't got 'add to cart' buttons yet. Will they be available to purchase soon?

[Leslie BT]

Email the workshop and ask very very nicely.

More pictures, rationale, potted regimental history http://www.keepyourpowderdry.co.uk/2019/02/sir-william-wallers-regiment-of-dragoons.html?m=1

Also on the blog yet more baggage train additions and some new buildings. Only one more regiment of dragoons left to paint now from my Vapnartak swag bag

They look just the job. Nice to see the figures out there and doing their jobs.
