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.

ReplyDeleteThank you Curt, we've had some great games working on the Midgard: Barons' War supplement play tests
DeleteA fine looking rabble! The drunkards would look great in a baggage train.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tom, a drunkard can fit in anywhere :D
DeleteThat battle looks great! I really like your colour choices with the peasants, and the guy having a drink mid-fight is super.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks, I try to use muted tones for the rabble.
DeleteExcellent stuff Paul
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt
DeleteHaving a bit of liquid courage before a battle seems quite appealing, your drunkards should get a nice morale bonus. Great work on these medieval minis.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart
DeleteExcellent choice of colours for the linen, just the right level of realism. Thanks for the battle pictures as a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, I use a lot of WWII uniform colours on the peasants and they seem to be suitably drab.
DeleteGreat work
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin
DeleteThey look great! Both in the displays and on the battlefield.
