Battle Flag Release Tott's Thirty Years War Swedish Cavalry Regiment in 28mm Wargame Scale

wwI have always liked the morbid imagery of the standards of the Tott Regiment. Each flag with a skull sitting on a grassy knoll set on a black field, with the Company identification detailed by whatever was springing forth from the eye sockets, very dark and dramatic. 

I am rather pleased with the artwork on these wargame flags and having spent longer painting the skulls than I intended  I thought them worthy of there own separate announcement.

You can view the rest of this weeks Thirty Years War  releases HERE.

As always the model flags are available in 25/28mm wargame scale and will be available on a 15mm multi sheet of 10 flags when I finish off the other Swedish Cavalry standards.

 Remember the actual flags are created and printed at a much higher resolution than is displayed on the website.

The Flags of Montrose's Irish Brigade (Part Two)

Having now gotten my hands on the excellent little booklet, Scots Armies of the 17th Century. The Royalist Armies 1639-46 by Stuart Reid I have spent the last few days working on the flags of Montrose's Irish.

The second sheet of wargame flags in the series is now ready and carries the image of Montrose and the quotation from,My Dear and Only Love, which will be a feature of these particular sheets of model flags to help identify them in listings etc.

This particular sheet includes the blue flag with the Virgin and child crushing the head of a serpent and the white flag bearing a blood red crucifix in the Irish style.

My reasoning for the Celtic Cross rather than a simple Crucifix is that having grown up near an  old Chapel in County Tyrone I remembered the  graveyard was full of Celtic crosses rather than the standard crucifix. So would it not make sense to have this style of Cross emblazoned on the Standard of Irish soldiers of the 17th Century. It certainly gives the flag a lot more flair.

New 25mm English Civil War Flags from Battle Flag. The Irish in the Service of the King

I got to see some of the excellent English Civil War Irish figures from Warlord Games Pike & Shotte range of miniatures the other week and, being from the fair isle of Erin myself, was immediately inspired to create a series of wargame flags for my ancestral forefathers who fought for King and Country in Englands Civil War.
