From SanderS: Robin Hood in Children's Books (65 points)

 Hoi,

Since my last post two weeks past I only managed to finish 9 figures, life threw quite a few spanners in the works recently. I will spare you the details and get going. 

Let's be honest okay? My main focus this Challenge will lye on my Bretonnians and I am willing to bend the rules to get them in anyway I can. Now since I got hold of quite a lot of the old school miniatures and characters as well I decided I was going to do the Brigands of Bergerac, with the characters:  Bertrand the Brigand (aka Robin Hood), Hugo le Petit (Little John) and Gui le Gros (Father Tuck). Now back when I was a kid, we used to read decent books after bedtime like the one shown here which is a Dutch translation of Ivanhoe (by Sir Walter Scott) in which  Robin Hood has a small Cameo and since I do not have the actual Robin Hood book this will have to do. 

I painted up some white metal squires to use as the Brigands of Bergerac because I didn't have enough to make a bigger unit.

As a painting reference I use Pinterest where I make folders filled with all kinds of inspirational pictures and one of them had a Bertrand figure wearing a brilliant checkered  pants so I had to try that for my figure and I am really happy with it. 

Here are the full command squires:

Some regular grunts shooting bows:

Now pointswise there are 9 figures in 28mm good for 45 points and that together with the Library bonus should net me 65. Sadly I was unable to finish a unit of Knights Errant so they will show up next week.

Cheers Sander

Sylvain: I am sure many Challengers will fondly remember Robin Hood from their childhood. Great entry for this theme! The band is very characterful and you did a great job at expressing the personality of each sculpt. I'm sure these little figurines will bring joy to the gaming table. Thanks for indulging us!
