The enigmatic Prince Rupert of the Rhine assumed command of Sir Thomas Lunsford’s Regiment of Foote after being impressed by their fighting ability, and they went on to feature in several key English Civil War battles from Adwalton Moor, 1643, to Marston Moor, 1644, building a fearsome reputation. Warlord Games Head Honcho John Stallard suggested two interesting Regiments of Foote we might want to paint up for display, the first being Prince Rupert’s Bluecoats. If you would like to see more by way of reference, check out the excellent Sir Arthur Haselrig’s Regiment of Horse: The Lobsters Facebook Group. Unfortunately for them, that last hurrah led Haselrig’s Lobsters off a cliff to their doom at Roundway Down in 1643. Their distinctive lobster armour was the last hurrah for armour clad warriors on the battlefields of England.
Perhaps the most famous cavalry regiment of the English Civil War.
