Cutting Edge Technology...

...C15th style! In the form of a base of Burgundian handgunners, whose services will no doubt be going to the highest bidder! 

These are a part of the Crusader Miniatures order I mentioned in an earlier blog post, with a Perry Miniatures casualty figure added to the base to create a point of interest. The figure sculpting style is quite delicate and to my eye fits in well alongside both the Perry Miniatures figures and those of Eureka Miniatures, though in my opinion at least they lack the sense of movement of the former and the pronounced details of the latter. However, as you might well say of them, they will do...

Next to pass under the brush are a base of Men At Arms to represent the King's Household fighting on foot. They are mostly Athena Miniatures figures with a couple of other manufacturers' figures added. More on them next week I'd anticipate, after we return from a foray down into the depths of rural Herefordshire to spend some family time with Matt, Sarah, Arthur and Reuben.
