They are nice enough figures, but suffer from the usual Victrix problem of being too fiddly with easily broken parts. The dynamic poses on these make it impossible to base most of them on 20mm bases like the rest of the foot in the collection, so instead I opted for doing three foot on a 40mm base for those too big to fit individually on a 20mm.
Those easily broken spears I mention, of the seven here three did not survive building and painting, that one closest in this shot has been glued three times already.
If I did any of these in the future I'd stick to only making them with hand weapons.
Gambesons a plenty in this set, I think they come out alright, but oh-my they do get repetitive after a while!
Some close ups of a few of the individual stands.
The standard is hand painted on cartridge paper and then plasticised with Mod Podge to give it both durability and flow. Like the spears, the standard pole broke and had to be fixed, hence the pronounced bend.
Thirty two 28mm figures should add another 160pts added to my total and have me well over my target for this Challenge, no letting up though, off to Cornwall for a week and the weather forecast says take the paints and brushes.

SylvainR for DaveD: Fiddly but awesome! You really did bring out the best out of these miniatures. I like how you unified your force with touches of blue and yellow. These will shine on the tabletop. I added 2 points for the flag. Great job!
