Royalists for the Good and Rightful King

[grant]

In anticipation of the Pike & Shotte book, I hauled out my ECW.
Here'a a shot of the whole lot (obviously going to have add more ... ). There will be a green-coated regiment, and Newcastle's Whitecoats in this lot.


And here's the painted ones:


Close up of the finest gentleman of the war, and his beloved dog Boye:


The Blewcoates:


And a sleeve of shotte:

Nice shading, especially on the red.

Lovely work Grant! These look great. Are these the famous Blew Coates? Love the Rupert and Boye... I do love to see painted Pike and Shotte! There arn't enough ECW pictures on here by half in my opinion. (all these WW2 and Romans and what not)!

[grant]

Thanks guys! Yes, they are meant to be Rupert's Blew Coates. Also clearly inspired by the WHH ECW book by Squire John Stallard.

More to come! Nap Hussars are on the drying bench following the AP technique at the moment.

Really great looking force you got going there Grant, I assume the Parliament heroes are hiding behind the black card ready to pounce on the fops!
Rupert was one of my fav WG figs to paint, great job you done there.

Grant, the only good and rightful king died at Bosworth field there after all imposters, Henry tudor was without a father, and had no right to the throne So I believe that makes Charles the first a dandy pretender

very nice figures though!!!

Being a Yorkshireman I wholeheartedly agree with this!

Hastings.

To be fair I.O. is absolutely right, that well known bastard, William the first, was not an heir to England's throne.... the last legitimate King would have been Harold....Hardrada...he at least had a fair claim.
Harold Godwinson may well have been a saxon, but had no more a legit claim than I would now.....and that sadly is a fact.
Just as well I'm not a royalist

Hastings????

The battle of on the Thames in AD42 more like... Hail Togodumnus, the rightful king!
