Sir John Savage

A while back now when I first mooted this small project Phil gifted me a figure, a stout noble in full plate standing legs akimbo. We both thought it was venerable Front Rank offering, but further research reveals that it is in fact a free figure given on the door at Partizan way back in the day! He represented Sir John Savage it seems. I also had a few odd MAA figures in the Lead Pimple so I married two of them with him and put them in command of a motley crew of Foundry {formerly Citadel?} billmen. A kind of C15th Dad's Army called out to defend their village perhaps? His heraldic banner I put together from a net search. Sharp eyed readers will I'm confident have noticed that its smaller than the Pete's Flags offerings,  a conscious decision on my part so no-one confuses my poor efforts with his outstanding products! So here he and they are for your viewing ~

I'm currently working on a base of figures for Edward IV and his Household. They are well advanced, so I'd hope they would be along over the weekend sometime. After them in the queue are a light gun and crew and then a more substantial grouping of mercenary pikemen. The latter will be a slow job for me I fear looking at the grouping...

  1. Another fine addition to the WOTR project. Verily thou art a painting machine or some sort of sorcery is a foot?
