From PaulSS - Hundred Years War French Infantry (120 points)

Over the New Year break I've been working on some French infantry for the Hundred Years War project that shall hopefully feature heavily in my challenge entries.

All the figures are from a Perry Miniatures Agincourt French Infantry 1415-29 set that my mother in law bought me for Christmas. This is my first box of this set and already another is on order as I've cracked on so well with this one.

The first unit is a dozen crossbow-men in a blue and white livery that I have tried to vary through the unit. Several are sporting the cross of St. Denis, a typical French field sign during the era, much like the English use of the cross of St. George.

Like the earlier mounted men at arms, the figures are individually based then mounted six to a tray in the custom trays that I ordered from Warbases  meaning I can use them as single figures for Lion Rampant etc. or as units for Hail Caesar or To The Strongest!

The second unit is a dozen spearmen in a burgundy and black livery scheme, again, I've tried to vary the application of the livery through the unit. These are a mixed bag of fellows, some are very well armed and armoured while some appear to have been given an helmet and a pointy stick and shoved in the direction of the English.

A few close-up shots of some individuals.

The sky blue and white livery is one I've always been fond of, and did for my own French noble, the Count of Tunis, AKA Constable of France, AKA King of France, and his retinue of rapscallions, cuttthroats, ne'er-do-wells, ex-Crusaders and other usurpers. 

Naturally, these folks are fine outstanding examples of French manhood. You've also painted a rather nice example of English basehood, with the bases fitting quite seemlessly into the movement trays, they really do look like a multi-figure base in that first photo.

En Avant!

Now, by my maths, arithmetic being a bit much for a statistician, two dozen crossbowmen in 28mm, by five points a figure, carry the one, add a brace of champagne (French, naturally), and I come up with, in round figures, 120 points. Which puts you at a grand total of 321, or nearly halfway to your 750 points goal.
