From BrendonW - 28mm WotR Fighting for Beer & Bacon (175 Points)

I have had an excellent painting week since my last submission. So as a part of the awesome Monday Club I present lots of plastic and only plastic....

35 Miniatures...Wahoo!
The first Pike recruits. Includes a Drummer and a fully armoured leader pointing type dude. One of these Pike fellas uses a Foot Knight body. See if you can spot him.




Next is Shooters. Three Crossbows to get my previously submitted unit up to 12 and 8 dudes with primitive black powder guns.



Last is some men with Bills. Twelve dudes ready to hook, stab and chop.....nasty!  All figures here are  from the Perry Miniatures War of the Roses sets.



Finally here is some extras roped in to show you my custom made unit bases from one of our excellent sponsors...Warbases. I got these a while back and I can not say enough good things about Warbases. Excellent service and great product.


I am extremely unlikely to exceed this amount of miniatures painted in a week. It just happened to be a good week for painting (and gluing them together). Not at work this week and a nice heavy dose of Monsoonal rain made for good painting days. Unlike Northern Hemisphere with Snow and unlike Southern parts of Australia that are crispy dry, here in Darwin, Northern Territory, it's the Wet Season. Always the potential for a Cyclone but it's super green here at the moment.....and sweaty.


From Curt:

Wow, that is a BIG schwack of armoured guys with nasty pointed sticks - well done Brendon! 

As with your other troops from this project these look fantastic (obviously beer and bacon favours these fellows). Those movement trays are pretty swish as well. I especially like the one to the far right that has the most irregular spaced sockets - the troops in that tray have a more varied, natural stance to their formation. Very cool.

Excellent work Brendon. Keep it up and keep dry! :)
