AndrewB - English Bad Guys! Literary! (175 points)

Hello everyone!   This week I completed some generic English bad guys, inspired by the costuming in Braveheart, and matching some mounted figures I painted in a challenge gone by!   

This first batch of 16 are a pack of the Sheriff of Nottingham/Prince John’s men from the literary classical lore of Robin Hood, along with a smaller pack of characters, who you can see in the front.  Looks like we have Guy of Gisborn, King Richard himself(ok, he’s a good guy), Prince John, and finally the depraved Sheriff of Nottingham.  Their twelve generic bad guys have a real flunky, and less organized feeling to them, and I’m a big fan.  On to the next group!

These fellows are certainly more along the lines of generic Norman bad guys a la Ivanhoe, but they should mix fine for generic bad folks in skirmish style gaming, when we’re not going for ultra accuracy, but a fun game in the highlands or Sherwood Forest!   Maybe I’ll get an Aethelstan or Gurm figure together to run alongside some noble Saxons, time will tell!  Quite happy with how the two separate periods of figures work well together, thanks to the unified paint scheme.  Let’s put them together for a group photo! 

I’ll be happy to see them on a table!  As for points this week, there’s 31 28mm minis for 155, plus the Literary Section, for a total of 175pts!  More next week!

Well, we definitely have a lot of "bad guys"....not sure about the literature connection, but these certainly are some pretty famous characters, and I certainly don't have the intellectual credibility to tangle with anything that might be connected to Piers Plowman, so I guess this can work. Very nice brushwork on these associated denizens of Sherwood Forest Andrew - 175 points for your total.
