ECW Irish Pikemen (Carl)

A bit of a change for this entry from the painting table. It's a base of Irish Pikemen for English Civil War games. I'll be running a Montrose royalist force and these great looking models from Eureka Miniatures UK form part of my first ever pike block. 

Painted using mostly washes (or heavily thinned acrylic) on a white prime. Overwash with Games Workshop's Agrax Earthshade. Then working in a few highlights afterwards. I also used Nuln Oil (GW) for the first time to wash into the shadows a bit, pretty pleased with it so will be experimenting with that a bit more.

I've got the rest of the Pikemen to clean up yet plus the command so eventually there will be 16 in the block.

I'll also be adding a sleeve of 8 shot to go alongside them. They're awaiting clean up too.
