Good to see that the figures on TMP went to a good home though, especially when they turn out as well as this!<br /><br />I have had the Empress figures assembled and primed for the best part of eighteen months now, so I suppose I really should advance them in the queue. I purchased them on the basis of their black washed online photos where the detail looked sufficiently raised, so it is disappointing to hear what potentially lies ahead. Ah well, I’m hopeful there will be more to motivate me than the three 15mm Minifigs ECW armies I also have in the pile!Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-61420244028088619502018-12-28T08:15:46.609-08:002018-12-28T08:15:46.609-08:00Thank you very much, Jake!

...Thank you, Peter! Yes, Parliamentarian, indeed.<br /><br />"Great minds think alike" or we are just very similar with the same weaknesses. Which is it? I prefer the former but we may find ourselves in the latter! Regardless, my painting ledger shows one new regiment of foote completed with one regiment of horse in work. I may have the horse unit finished before year-end to add to the 2018 counts.<br /><br />All of the recent ECW campaigning is a great motivator to consider this period once again. Having purchased FK&P in pdf format earlier, yesterday's post brought a hardcopy version from Simon's recent sale. I am sure, FK&P will see action on the table in the future. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing more ECW units and games on your table in 2019!<br />Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-47341025237748692202018-12-28T05:33:56.741-08:002018-12-28T05:33:56.741-08:00Thank you, Mark!

I too like my ECW units to look more uniform than they likely did in actuality, although I may deviate more with a bunch of Old Glory infantry in Montero caps, which will repesent hastily raised, less reliable soldiery. <br /><br />Great minds think alike once again - the ECW campaign blogs, followed by Simon's release of his "Soggy Bottom" scenario for FK&P had me looking at a substantial pile of Old Glory lead I bought last year before my Army Card ran out. My ECW figures are just about the oldest in my collection still in use, and I too had considered them a "done deal". Hah! I may be adding a couple of units of Horse and Foote to both armies in 2019; I certainly have the lead for it now!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-54124836564770190582018-12-27T17:04:21.217-08:002018-12-27T17:04:21.217-08:00That is a great looking unit Jonathan.

I hope that is not the pile of lead you regret letting slip away.<br /><br />While very fine sculpts, the Empress cavalry I am working on do not have the raised detail like either Renegade or Redoubt figures. Much more subtlety in the sculpting. The sculpts almost require painting the webbing on rather than an easily defined strap.

I have around 60-80 of their figures in my own ECW collection - they used to have really good value deals a few years back and I think I got 8 packs for the price of 6 one Christmas. I also concur re their paintability - like Front Rank, their sculpting is hard edged and simple to pick out - I have not painted Empress but the images make them look much softer detailed - like the plastics - which is undoubtedly more "realistic" but makes them much harder to paint accurately!rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.com
