16th Century Irish

Not exactly the Italian Wars but at least the're 16th century. .... I've only got meself to blame for doing these as I've been  tempted by Crann Tara's re-release of the  Graven images Elizabethans and promising more to come. Thanks to Mr. Oliver Green for sending me  some pics of early Irish  flags; now I just need to buy some figures and paint a few flags for the English.  Does anyone know what Mountjoy's flag may have looke dlike?
cheers Pete

  1. I can't believe how quickly you painted those up! They look great. I am also tempted to get back into this era and these flags have only added to that temptation! If Warlord games expand on the Arsenal Miniatures Malta range which is planned there may well be loads of suitable Elizabethan figures. I think the Claymore Castings Highlanders would also be great as Galloglas or Redshanks.

  2. Hi Oli, I fancied having a go at something different, I think you're right about the claymore casting's figures they should double well for gallogliach and Scots.

  3. Pete,
    Very nice flags. Let's chat at Smoggy I could do with these in the shop, if not will link to you. Your order is ready and the sculptor is busy on the first 6 Gallowglass
