Crann Tara Elizabethans for Donnybrook

Here's the first of my  Elizabethan units  for use with the Donnybrook rule system  available from here: http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/index.php Donnybrook appears to work well for Elizabeth's War in Ireland so hopefully there'll be a supplement available from the League of Augsburg soon.  My initial thoughts regarding changes to the rules are  to count calivers as carbines and give a better saving throw to heavily armoured figures being fired at at long range. I'll use the army faction for the English and have at least a third of the units as raw and use the rapparee/highlander faction for the Irish.

The figures are the excellent Jim Bowen figures available from Graham at Crann Tara  miniatures http://www.cranntaraminiatures.co.uk/

drilled Pike

Elite sword and bucklermen

Drilled shot 2

Raw Militia Longbowmen 

Officers, Musicians and standard bearers; the rules only allow for one standard bearer but I've painted two so I'll be using him.

Sergeants
