Does anyone know what the best pictures are of the Covenanter's either worshipping or fighting?
If so please put them on this thread?

I'm working on adding some images of the Covenanters to Reformation Art. However, it will be a little while longer before they're available.
Of course Naphtali press has a wonderful reproduction: Naphtali Press » The Covenanters
Here's some from google:
Unfortunately, there's not a lot of good material online as far as images go (at the moment). Although others likely have more resources they know of.
Grace and Peace,

The Covenanters Marriage by Alex Johnston is very good; don't have a pic available currently to post, however.

It's a marriage service uncivilly interrupted by the king's soldiers.

Baptists like to fight while they are worshipping...or is it that they like to worship while they fight? Hard to tell sometimes!
Sorry.

Sort of a mix between the church militant and the church triumphant?

That reminds me of the painting by Francis Millet "Between Two Fires"

Yes, that scene does suggest fireworks. The painter's wife served as a model interestingly. It also shows holly (Christmas?) decorations in a Puritan home; some have suggested that's what caused the trouble.

That's one I have got, I am primarily looking for pictures of later Covenanters.

For what it's worth, I have a nicer picture of the signing of the Scottish National Covenant at Greyfriars at home by Sir William Allan (1840). It's got the blue banner too.
Here is Thomas Duncan's The Death of John Brown of Priesthill (1844):
Sir George Harvey's portrait of the Battle of Drumclog has already been provided. Here is an engraving of his painting of the Battle of Bothwell Bridge by J.B. Allen:
He also painted Covenanters Preaching:
and Covenanters' Communion (which is on the cover of Maurice Grant's The Lion of the Covenant: The Story of Richard Cameron).
Two books that have a number of Covenanter painting illustrations are Sinclair Horne's Torchbearers of the Truth and Robert Pollok Kerr's The Blue Flag: The Covenanters Who Contended for "Christ's Crown and Covenant" (for example, The Marytrdom of John Brown, Richard Cameron's Prayer, Covenanter Baptism, Covenanter Preaching, James Renwick, etc.).

Martyr's what?
EDIT: Great video, by the way.

I think the apostrophe is extra and not needed. In other words, it's just a clip about the Scottish Covenanter martyrs. There is a psalm tune called "Martyrs" too, but that's not what is being sung; they are singing Psalm 84B from The Book of Psalms for Singing to the tune Melita.
