A hasty and frustrating job with much cursing of shaky hands and blurry eyes but they turned out well enough for gaming. Now, I just need to do another 5 or 8 stands to paint, but not this week. The three figures closest to the camera are Triguard 13th C Scots, lightly modified with two of them wearing my own homecast sallet heads, and one with a blue tam added over his helmet. The 4th figure is the Day of Battle figure I reviwed.

But now.......now its time for a battle!
Very pleasing composition, Ross! A large unit of these fellas will be an impressive sight.
ReplyDeleteAt the current rate, I'll have to come back and add some tinges of grey to these guy's beards when the rest are done!
DeleteLaughed at the comment about "tinges if grey".
DeleteI know what you mean.
They are looking good, and will hopefully serve you well.
Battle YES!
ReplyDeleteWell, battle.....sort of more like a skirmish or minor incident....
DeleteLook forward to seeing them in action.
ReplyDeleteThe table is set, I just need to refresh my memory of the chosen rules.
DeleteThese look great!

Thanks
DeleteAlways a good thing to get new toys on the table!
ReplyDeleteIf they go straight to the shelf, they get ribbed something awful by the veterans!
DeleteThey look great Ross. How many different scales have you built this army now?
ReplyDeleteWell, lets see my 25mm Scots may have included a few, well 100 or so, Heritage figures based on illustrations in the Almark Flodden book, but they were used in a 14th-15thC Scots army so they don't count. The 15mm one that I did to match a certain unamed individual's Henry VIII army, retired and went off to do mercenary serivce.
DeleteBarely 20 years old, this 40mm Scots army has already seen more service than any of my 25mm Scots and the 15's added together!
