Yup, I think this may be the last stand for my 40mm 16thC Highlanders.

There's a feeling in the air that those dastardly English (sorry Mom) are about to come poking over the border again ere long......or there may be one of those annoying Scottish civil wars like Queen Mary vs her 1/2 brother the Earl of Moray, Catholics vs Protestants etc. Its a little bit later than my armies but little but fashion changed and besides, its the only Scottish battle that I've found where the Macfarlanes (on the Earl's side) played an important role by appearing late (an inherited gene), and in the rear of Mary's army, not that its often mentioned in the rare modern summaries of the battle.
Anyway, I'm not going to reenact Langside, just some generic scenario, once these guys are fully dressed.
Great looking figures Ross and a beaut mix on the base. I like the (slightly morbid) touch of the bit-o-leg as well. The miniature fellow in question did you a favour there?!

Alas it was only an impromptu gesture. There was supposed to be 3 3d printed Scots but when trying to remove some flash.......the leg came off (oops). Rather than attempt to fix it right then, I dugout a spare Prince August Viking, swapped heads and carried on. After the photo, the leg went back in with the rest of the body for possible future use.
