From RayR - Donnybrook - Warfare Miniatures Militia (250 Points)



Surprise Surprise!!! More Donnybrook shenanigans!!! I bought these luvvly Warfare Miniatures last year at The Other Partizan wargame show, from Mr Hilton himself. 


These are very multi-purpose figures and are something that was missing from the late 1600's figure range. Dixon's and Reiver do have similar figures, but not in this many poses or clothing styles. And this is only the start, there will be more poses from Warfare minis!!


I mainly wanted these figure to use as Militia for Bacon's Rebellion or King Philips War in America, but they will also be used as Rebels in the army of the Duke of Monmouth and the Battle of Sedgemoor. And also they can be used for as either side in  Ireland in the Boyne campaign.



There are 30 Musketeers and 20 Pikemen/Sythmen I do have another 10 Pikemen to paint up, but I've kept these back.


I've just bought some different weapons for them to hold, hopefully, they'll be painted during the Challenge???


So 50 x 25mm figures should earn me a very nice 250 points! 





Wow, I haven't seen you paint so much in a long time. They are a nicely varied bunch of figures making them ideal to represent militia or other irregular troops. Your tried and trusted basing scheme really brings them together making them feel like a cohesive unit. I've seen plenty of figures at shows with poor basing and I think its an area many people miss, but it really can make a difference. Nicely done sir!
