I've been systematically rebasing all of my Renaissance figures over the past could of years to play them under ADLG-Renaissance rules, and this Scottish Contingent represents the end of that process, with all of my Renaissance armies now re-done.
One of my three commanders is this Highland Gnome, bought from the edition of Cold Wars just before Covid.
There is also a rather more Jacobite-esque 28mm leader in there too
A good chunk of the figures are these very old Minifigs castings which I picked up in a Bring & Buy back when Roll Call was held in Dunstable - and they are still going strong even now!
There are also a few Peter Pig Highland Rebel warriors in there too - just the one base, as I used many of the rest of the Highlanders I had to pad out the Pike & Shot formations.
Two Peter pig Frame Guns provide the "non-generic" artillery for the Scots , with crews from all sorts of places.
The bulk of the Pike & Shot units are Peter Pig figures, painted quite simply with a grey base coat, some bits of colour added and then a wash to dirty them up for campaigning in the Highlands and Lowlands.
The one unit of "better quality" Strathbogie (or similar) Scots are the Minifigs musketeers plus some compatible Donnington Pikemen.
The cavalry are all Peter Pig as well - again easy to paint up, if a little limited in poses.
They are a little too small to use with other ranges I think.
Plenty of grass tufts in blue-ey purple to represent heather. I could have gone with actual purple, but the purple tufts I had a very vibrant, to the point of being almost a "space alien" intensity, so these seemed a better bet.
And that's the full set all ready for some ADLG-R action!
(I have a playlist of "how to" videos on my YouTube Channel that show the basics of ADLG-R if you fancy listening to me waffle on for a while about how to play the game).
