From Codsticker: Bloody Miniatures - The King's Men and The Parliament Men (40 pts)

In a break from my established pattern of featuring 4 Bloody Miniatures, here I present 8! The last two packs from wave 3 released in April 2022; BM 015 All The King's Men:


And BM 016 the Parliament Men:


As you would expect the King's Men includes  a young dandy, who probably spends a lot more time posing with his sword than swinging it in anger:


As well as an older Gentlemen who prefers to observe the martial goings on with a nice goblet of claret:


Not everyone is some genteel poseur; there is also a staunch monarchist who has, perhaps, served with Prince Rupert on the continent:
 

And the seasoned veteran; a swordsman by trade:


Pack BM 016, The Parliament Men, are not foppish. They are dressed in sensible attire, suitable for the seriousness of their task. Here we have a hard-nosed urban merchant, tired of paying his majesty's tax, especially that offensive Ship Money!
 

An agent of Parliament, probably a puritan judging by his stern countenance:


A battle-worn and committed officer of foot, willing to follow his general all over the three kingdoms:


This east Anglian farmer would prefer to stay home but someone has to save the King from his papist advisors and their conspiring ways:


That is 8 28 mm minis, at 5 points apiece, is a total of 40 points. If  I can manage a couple of entries a month featuring 8 figures I may be able to make up for my slow start.

Great work here mate. Again loving the work you are putting into these models. Each having its own character here, and still fitting into the genre so easily. Will be quite the sight with them all laid out on the table I am sure!

40 pts for you!
