It's hard to believe this hasn't been touched for five months! In that time we've gotten our hands on some gorgeous copies of Black Powder and I've got a new 1:1 scale baby girl - prepainted! Black Powder looks like it's going to be the de facto horse and musket ruleset.
There should be a fair amount of ECW action coming along shortly as well. (Technically there are horses and muskets involved, so I'm posting it here!)
Santa Wife came through with a copy of Rick Priestly's 1644 rule set for Christmas. That led me down the path of purchasing Wargames Foundry's Scots Covenanter army deal. I have to say, when DHL showed up with a complete metal army in a box I considered purchasing a forklift before my next purchase. Plastic's nice, but heavy metal's where it's at. \m/
As far as the ECW Scots are concerned, some of the standalone figures like the artillery crew and sniper are all cleaned and based.
The first compulsory unit of 12/12 pike and shot have just come out of a 5:1 mix of water:degreaser. (It's a little extra work but it takes the mould residue off; the paint sticks a lot better afterwards.) They're drying on the counter and I hope to get them based later today on GF9's 20mm econobases.
