Celtic Baggage Redux

 Jings and crivens! Even more baggage? I'm afraid so.

The last part of my Montrose/Solemn League/Irish Confederate baggage extension is complete. Erm... actually it isn't. Now that I have discovered that I can't actually see the figures properly when painting, and that 2.0 readers from the cheapy shop help enormously, I will be tidying these up. The strap work on those bags is shocking!


The Irish Confederates have two pack horse trains. These are Chariot figures from Magister Militum. Magister Militum are in the process of shutting up shop, and these figures are now unavailable; MM are finding new homes for their ranges, to date I haven't heard any news about anyone talking the Chariot range on yet. Originally the pony handlers had Scots bonnets, they have been replaced with Peter Pig Irish heads.

The Confederates also have two, two-wheeled carts added to their baggage train. Both from Museum Miniatures' extensive baggage range. Each cart has a Peter Pig dragoon horseholder with an Irish head fitted.

First up the covered cart two (spoked wheels) 15/WG38.

Then wicker cart (spoked wheels) 15/WG19.

The Army of Montrose also acquires two, two wheeled carts. Only this time the drovers have blue bonnets.

Surely that is enough baggage... I seem to remember saying that once or twice before.

  1. Very nice. I've just noticed the background to the photographs as well. Is that new? And how have you made it?

    1. Cheers Dex. The background? It's a mouse mat. I need a new background for my light box, and this was a set up I 'made' for the 'Which Figures?' posts.

      Had a few KYPD mouse mats made a few years ago, might be time for another print run...
