Basic Baroque - The English Civil War

Having recently purchase a variety of second hand painted 15mm ECW figures have decided to put them to a good use.


After sorting the various figures out there is more than enough to create the following two armies for Basic Baroque.

The cavalry bases will consist of between 8 and 10 figures and the pike and musket blocks consisting of 27 figures including command figures. The P & M modifiers will be represented by using the following ratios

MM -1 : 16 musketeers and 8 pikemen
MM -2 : 12 musketeers and 12 pikemen

The figures are painted to a wargames standard and heavily gloss varnished so in terms of painting there isn't that much work to be done. That said the figures are going to have a wash of GW's Devlin Mud for toning and be matt varnished as each base is made. In real terms this won't take that long and will make the   armies more in line with other miniatures in the collection.

This page will be updated with progress as the units are rebased for Basic Baroque.
