Re: Finally...

Gunter, this is going to be very embarrassing but... Pikes are from the Wargames Factory plastic Amazon Warriors set http://www.3vwargames.co.uk/upshop/shop/wargamesfigures.html Here's where I got mine from. I have no use for the rest of the set, but thought the plastic pikes were some of nicest I'v...

Scots Artillery

I have information on the uniform of the Scots Artillery in the period 1680's and '90's, but does anyone have any information on the colour of the gun carriages themselves?

Re: Scots Army of 1690...

Ray (Churchill), although it is obviously an alternative histories army, I AM trying to keep things to a more plausible aspect of the 'what ifs?'... Cameronians I could not and would not attempt to justify in the army, however, the Grey Dragoons did appear to make several attempts to change to James...

Re: Scots Army of 1690...

Those should be nice Barry, I'll be using the apostle equipped figures for my Scots Militia unit.

I can't use Cameronians as they were violently anti-James :cry:

Re: Scots Army of 1690...

Buchan noted and edited above... Did he then become the Major General Thomas Buchan who James sent to Scotland? First use of title of Fusiliers in 1691, but possibly converted to this role in 1686 when 500 firelocks were ordered. As always in this period (and others) nothing is as definitive as we m...

Re: Scots Army of 1690...

Doubt it, there was supposed to have been an Irish brigade sent to Scotland in 1688 under Ramsay but siege of 'derry intervened...

I assumed he was an Irishman but have no further info. Lets see if anyone else comes up with the goodies.

Scots Army of 1690...

A brief description of the setting for my models, the Order of Battle, and eventually, photos of the finished units. I have tried to include uniform info where known, but am the first to admit I'm new to this period and learning rapidly from the forum members. If anyone can share on the missing info...

Re: K U R A S S I E R !!!

Royal Regiment of Scots Dragoons, the Grey Dragoons, later Scots Greys, wore grey coats and blue bonnets 'til at least 1685, may have meant to illustrate them?

Cross belt with apostles is at least in line with their use as mobile infantry.

Re: K U R A S S I E R !!!

Don't worry Ray, will be restricting any armour to senior officers, if that...

But you have to admit, it would make for some interesting models, and even more interesting comments on the wargames table! :roll:

Well gents, at long last here are my first few bases of figures for my post-Killiecrankie Scots Jacobite army. On the left, Bonnie Dundee as my Highland divisional commander, then the pike and command bases of [edit] James Purcell's (not Cannon's) Irish regt. Uniform and colours unknown, so my own e...
