The Aberdeen Militia
The next addition to my Covenanter force is the Aberdeen Militia from the Fecht of Aberdeen or the Battle of Justice Mills as you prefer (although I do intend to do another standard eventually to make the unit a little more flexible).

Absolutely tremendous, what a fabulous looking unit Al.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, I am pleased with the way they turned out. Now onto the next one!
Deletecracking job here, mate. I like them, a lot.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful addition, no doubt! Great looking troops...
ReplyDeletePhil.
Thanks Phil. Let's hope they perform a little better than the Militia did at the real battle!
DeleteVery nice looking unit. What's the other standard your going to do?
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's a very good question and I'm not sure I have an answer yet! I plan to get the additional ensign at the Broadside show next weekend (assuming Redoubt are there - I'd better check!) and then it will need painting so I have a little time to decide.
DeleteVery smart indeed, Al. I am sure that the militia is going to be your Covenantors' secret weapon, suitably fortified pre-battle by porridge and non-frivolous root vegetables!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sidney. Ye dinnae want to mess with yon man whose had his bashed neeps and tatties that for sure!
DeleteLovely figures. I am sorely tempted to start an ECW army using Warlord plastics.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. Come on in the water's lovely! :-)

ReplyDeleteA good battle to do Al
From my time in Aberdeen I too have the Battle of Justice Mills on my wargaming list :)
I have wargamed it once already using the Canadian Wargame Group Rules "For God King and Country"
But it is on the "redo" list for me when I paint some 25/28mm of my own :)
That's a bit far North for you isn't it? :)
DeleteAs you may have seen from my post today I'm planning on trying FGK&C with these figures and Aberdeen is one of the scenarios in the book - so that and Tippermuir are likely to be easy ones to start with !
Cool
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can remember I was based up in Aberdeen for stint before London
I always chuckle to think that Justice Mills was a site of a cinema (Aberdeen has grown to swallow the external battlefield)
No sorry I didn't - one of the penalties of getting old I suspect! I'm thinking of stopping that! :)
DeleteIt is a shame when interesting sites get subsumed by development but you can't stop "progress" I suppose. It's a shame there isn't a decent film about Montrose that they could show there!
