Why not just rename the mod Pike and Shotte WG and texture/model everything based on the Minatures from warlord games?  :P

So what if he is basing his soldiers off of the Warlord Games website? They have a reliable source for uniforms. No need to be a dick about it.

If you want to post only offensive and annoying replies, rather not post anything

you could have expressed yourself in a more kind way, you do sound offensive, happens to me too from time to time.
anyways i do believe they do researches for their miniatures otherwise it wouldnt make sense but i agree on the point that their historical accuracy could be dubious
oh and about the highland swordsmen, i think you should add  them for some intresting variety, they are in century of war too you could look there for reference, good luck dont get too stressed

  I assure you sir, having bought and painted many of these figures and reading about the armies of the era, they are pretty accurate. The thing is we do not know as much about the uniforms of the era, only a few illustrations and scant literary material. For example, Prince Rupert's Horse is the only cavalry regiment we know the tunic colour of (they ordered red cloth for uniforms), we assume the cavalry generally wore whatever they could find.
  As I pointed out earlier, uniforms would generally wear out after only one campaign and had to be constantly replaced, sometimes uniform colours would change so you could see a mixture of colours (I seem to remember a Parliamentarian regiment started the war in yellow but had to switch to grey).
  I think this mod is shaping up to be really good and very accurate. You can never get things 100% right because we just do not know for sure. It is about best represting history in a way that people who play the game will find enjoyable and challenging.
  If I may also add a postscript about the Covenanter's. It would seem they very rarely wore armour, although I did here mention that Parliament gave them some supplies including armour but in limited numbers.
  I advise everyone to see the osprey books, I have two (infantry and cavalry) but I cannot find them at the moment. And if artillery is ever done, here are some pictures of a cannon (took this back in 2009). This is a smaller field piece, there were all sorts of types but I believe this is a Minion (please correct me if I am wrong).

  Good work with those Scots (Covenanter's or Royalist or both?). Just had a thought with the soundtrack, what about using parts from the soundtrack of the film Cromwell (1970)? Here is an extract:

  My favourite parts are at 3:25-3:38 (played in the film when the King arrives to raise his standard, could be used for the Royalist victory music) and 5:44-6:30ish (played when the New Model Army is marching to Naseby, could be used as Parliamentarian victory music). I don't know about copyright issues of course as it is from a film as opposed to a historical piece of music, then again the Zulu War mod got away with using music from Zulu and Zulu Dawn.

They are Covenanters.
I like that music. Might be useful

Glad to help, I have just ordered a CD with the complete soundtrack on (they are very rare these days, I don't think the full soundtrack ever got a proper release sadly, at least not on CD, might be on vinyl) so will see if there is anything else there that might be good.

Why is everyone so offended? It was a jest, a light hearted one at that, seeing as they do have some nice colour schemes to base the textures off.  ::)
