English Civil War - Officers and Pikemen

Recently a valued client asked me to paint a few English Civil War figures for him, I will say the gentlemen in question is also some what of an expert in that particular period of Military and social history, having written several publications and the Black Powder Pike and shotte supplement to mention a few.

So first up are 4 officers all the figures are from the Bicorne range.

Now the excellent thing with this customer is the fact that he provides a full breakdown of the colours he wants on certain areas of clothing, which is great for me as I can quickly establish a set of colours to use for each part of a figure.

The final part of this half of the commission was to paint an eight man pike block in various jackets of off white and grey, now as usual the camera has decided to be an absolute basket case in my hands once again but hey it gives you an idea right ?

Hopefully I will be able to feature these fully based on the Brigantes blog in due course once the new owner has based them and takes a few proper pictures. In the meantime I am off to read his latest tome which I will give an unbiased review on in due course here.
