Lt. Colonel William Leighton’s Regiment

[Correus]

Can anyone tell me if Lee Abbott used the Thirty Years War Swedish Regiment box set to create his Lt. Colonel William Leighton’s Regiment? I really like the pikemen he used.

They look either from the box or the metal ones. I have similar looking minis. Not sure about the TYW box.

The pikes look like the plastic "masts"

These are the standard plastic pike men from either of the ECW or TYW boxes, I should know I've painted about 15 of em!

You get one fully armoured pike man like this on every sprue, plus 3 more un armoured. Lee Abbott used all the armoured ones from what looks like 2 box sets worth in one regiment.

Armour was quite scarce on infantry in ECW, and going out of fashion, do I tend to give my regiments a mix of armoured & unarmoured pike men in each... But that is the beauty of these plastic sets plenty of options to pick and choose your own preferred method.

Thanks guys!

I think I'm going to have to have at least one unit that's armored - I like the look!
