Alisdair "Big Bad John" MacColla is recorded as being 7 feet tall. In that spirit Warlord Games has made their Alisdar figure proportionally that tall.
Here is Alisdair standing next to an Irish Brigade pikeman that I have converted to an ensign. He's a tall lad.
The back of Alisdair standing next to another pikeman from the Irish Brigade. Alisdair is a least a head taller.
A side view of the the bad boy of the Highlands . . . not a welcome sight for Conventers and if your last name is Campbell.
Alisdair's representation reminds me of one of my favorite songs from my youth and every once in a while I still hear it on the radio: Jimmy Dean (the sausage king) singing Big John.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
