From BrendonW - 28mm Wars of the Roses light Horsemen (40 points)

4 x Perry Plastic 28mm horsemen. 2 with Crossbows and two with big spears. Constructing the Crossbow figures is a little tricky. Arm position and location of the bolt holster needs a little thought for it to work. The bolt pouch needs to avoid conflict with the high back saddle. The arms (and crossbow) for the shooter are from the Perry foot mercenary set. Plain horses again. Leaders and next batch I aim to have a few extra bits of pattern detail. This is the last post until my next are due. Been a busy day to get these ready for posting and thank you to our down under analogue agent when you get this far. Cheers from Brendon.




Aha, I see what you're doing now! Quality in quantity (of posts just for starters). I'm struggling for adequate superlatives now without sounding like a git so I'll just go with an Aussie "Bloody nice work mate" and add a Kiwi "Choice bro, you deserve a chocolate fish!" to balance it out. 
40 points for these and in total 300(!) for the day. That's the equivalent of sneaking all the parts for a points bomb through airport customs one at a time. Just my luck I was on duty and didn't spot the thing til it went off in my face. :-)
PS. Curt, I think I understand it all now. I'm SO sorry mate. ;-)

    Now, take you medication and Nurse Millsy will take you back to your nice, comfortable, padded room. Oh, the black vinyl stockings, garter belt, thong and mask? Yes, they are the new uniform for our nurses - nothing for you to worry about...

    Another lovely set of figures, but you really should have combined your posts :)

  4. Great work Brendan. Are you sure that you're not a Beaver, as I don't recall that Kiwis are particularly industrious birds.
    Cheers PD

  5. Mounted Crossbows are so indicative of the Italian renaissance armies. I am surprised the Perrys do not have the option readily available. They are a Credit to you sire. Splendid!

    1. Only the shooting pose was a par switch from another kit. You get plenty of Crossbow arms in the Light Horse kit. cheers

  7. And another one, wow. Multipart plastics are a real bear for me. I seem to always put them together wrong and then have the rank and file not rank up.

  8. I thought I'd just comment here, with the last impact crater. :)

    Millsy, you've gotten a taste of it now, eh? You're a good lad, now stop rocking back and forth and wipe up the dribble...

    Fabulous work Brendon. I love your cavalry, especially your crossbow mods. I also appreciate the time you put into your irregular Arab figures - they look wonderfully varied, motley yet very dangerous.

    A triumphant entry into the Challenge - Bravo!

    1. Cheers Curt. As the smoke clears Millsy calls for a Medic. None to be found. Not even one in leather.

  9. Yeah, this wasn't a points bomb so much as a points bombardment. Wow!

  12. Thanks everyone. Stealth Carpet Bombing perhaps. I will endeavour to make future posts more compact but it was a crazy day. But we know that Millsy loves the work so who knows...? So tune in next Thursday for more mayhem hopefully. cheers
