To quote Judge Dredd, "Won't these perps ever learn?". Speaking of which I have been also eyeing up that offering from Warlord Games too, but no my current "penny peril project" is ..
28mm (25mm compatible) ECW with a Scottish Covenanter twist courtesy of Warlord Game's temptations, my powers of resistance being weak or non-existent! I have got as far as putting a packet of forty together (see below):

I like the distinctive "blue bonnet" look, but I would have preferred it if Warlord Games had managed to 'keep it all plastic' as mixing it up with super-glue and plastic glue can get quite confusing. It is the 'walk away' and don't touch aspect of the super-glue I hate. I end up nudging teh figure and causing the metal bonnet to slip 'over the eyes' of my soldiers! Then I have to start it all over again but this time getting super-glue all over my fingers (see below):

I hope to use them with a set of rules called "For God, King and Country" published by the Canadian Wargames Group (see below):
The first battle I intend to do is Montrose's Royalists "Battle of Aberdeen" where these fine fellows will be defending, but hopefully in a reasonably well painted state (see below):

I still have a long way to go to before completing the army though, see you in 2016 for an update ;)

The T34 in the background will be a game winner at any rate Geordie!
It'll all end in tears!
Paul you would be able to spot a WWII reference in Herodatus
Tim, there tears will be if I have to paint tartan
I know what you mean about being all over the place, scale and period wise. I am currently on 28mm WW2, 15mm Colonial, 28mm Zulus, 20mm WW2, 15mm moderns, 28mm Judge Dredd and, since last weekend; 25mm LotR!! None of which are anywhere near completion. Sad thing is, I an eyeing up a shed load of other stuff, too - nooooo!!
Resistance is futile Monty
When you go to the great wargaming place in the sky there will be a lead/plastic mountain buried with you to take to Valhalla ;)
