The break for the Holidays really allowed me to crack on with the Barons' War collection, this past week or so I've built the box of Wargames Atlantic Peasants that were left under the tree in my first post of the challenge.
The first few are assembled as levy spearmen, painted using drab colours
Next up, a bunch of archers, half of them are done as levy, but three were assembled from the Peasants set but with helmets from the Serjeants set to fill out a unit of Serjeants with bows in the collection.
That model on the right has lost his arrow tip, I think it's a moulding problem as most of this pose do not survive the first battle, this one broke while still on the painting table!
A trio of levy slingers, again to pad out existing units.
I had some spare Reconquer Designs drunkards left over after my last post these can be used as table dressing in our games, or pad out units if I'm short a few figures.
Twenty 28mm figures will add another 100pts to my ongoing total.
To whet your appetite, some pictures from the aforementioned Battle of Lewes game, James has done most of the named characters, the vast majority of the rank and file are from my collection.

From DaveD . Great to see more for this period from you Paul. You are certainly knocking them out .the volume is building up nicely . That’s a nice round 100 pts for you.
















Lovely mob of unwashed ! I need some :-)
ReplyDeleteThose look excellent! Really like those drunkards
ReplyDeleteTerrific work, Paul and looks like a wonderful game was had.
ReplyDeleteA fine looking rabble! The drunkards would look great in a baggage train.
