Blew Cap for me! Scottish Highlanders at the time of the English Civil War

So, here's my first post!

I've put a good bit of work into these in the past week or so, getting a commission done for a clan society, so I thought I'd share them.

They are all Warlord Games metals, I'll use the above for playing Osprey's En Garde. One blister worth was just about right for a 100pt warband, giving me a solid, fairly competitive force.

These are for the commission, three claymores (Alisdair MacColla and bodyguards), and a bowman to add a little ranged fire to support the heavy hitters.

These are really made to be usable from the 1600's up to Culloden, so there's a mix of weapons and clothes from that time-frame, like the longbows and claymores (the really big swords), as opposed to the later broadswords (like that above) and muskets.

I had fun on the plaids, painting some from the 'clan' tartans now used (the red-bearded claymore carrier wears ancient Donald), and others up out of my head, like the trews (trousers) on right. These were easily the hardest, but most rewarding part of the models!

 The title comes from a c. 16th century Scottish ballad of the same name, referring to the blue caps usually worn by the Scots, and on all of these miniatures.
