The everything miniatures wargaming thread

[The Brain]

I really like the work on the weapons. 

But what's the deal with the one dude in the shamrock jersey?

Somewhat lazy semi-random color experiment.

Edit: or if you meant why he doesn't wear livery in the same colors as the bows or bills then that's because I want to keep the men-at-arms generic enough to fit in any army. His colors are presumably his own or those of some minor generic noble.

More great work.

Don't do it again.

Longbowmen wearing the livery of Lord Fauconberg (can also be used as the Duke of Somerset).

And the billmen.



Wow, now all three battles of the army have their basic shit (bills and bows). This means the fun stuff is left, the "extra" stuff that will flesh out the army.

What to do now? This is stuff I already have at home and plan to include in the army:

Artillery piece and crew (remember I already have 1 painted, so 2 total, not the same model though)
Mercenary handgunners
Mercenary crossbowmen
VIPs with banners etc
Men-at-arms on foot (advancing, I already did standing around)
Mounted men-at-arms (not my top priority right now since they didn't play a huge part historically and my VIPs are on foot)
Light cavalry (prickers, in case they can be made well from the mounted men-at-arms sprues)

Any requests?

Light Cav....

Which miniatures are you using for the light cavalry?

The pics explain.

Right! I forgot there are light and heavy options for the Perry cavalry.

Do crossbowmen next.

BTW, what's the period?  Early 100 Years War?

Wars of the Roses, second half 15th century.

I have started assembling the light (or rather medium) cavalry. I haven't painted horses before (or at least not since the 80s) so the painted result will be... interesting. Painting animals well seems hard to me. As usual these will be KISS.

I look forward to the Starchild, Demon and Cat horses.

Played a 1500 pt Warhammer Fantasy Battle game yesterday. First time playing empire, ever and my army was HEAVILY proxied (Bretonnia, Dwarfs, High Elves, a Wargames Foundry Viking and even a few Schleich baby elephants); vs Dark Elves.

Had a lot of fun. Ultimately, I prevailed because he didn't have enough things that could touch my 1+ armour. D. Elf magic was pretty scary, but once I took out his (two!) sorceresses (he was fairly aggressive with them), the combination of my heavy cavalry and buffs carried the day.

Good times.
