"But screw your courage to the sticking-place!"*

 As promised in my previous blog posting, here are the two completed bases of mercenary crossbowmen! The pavaise proved more time consuming than I had anticipated which together with waiting on the delivery of the LBMS transfers caused the delay in their completion.  The figures are a mixture of the venerable Citadel/Wargames Foundry late medieval range and the contemporary range from Perry Miniatures. Despite the slight disparity in styles and height I do think that they work OK together. {Of course you are free to differ there!} The bases are from Warbases, who else?

Next to stagger across the painting desk and endure the agony of the brush of doom will be my fantastical friparies if all goes well.

*The "sticking-place" refers to the point where a crossbow's string is pulled to its maximum tension by a wooden screw, ready to fire. From the Bard's Scottish Play.
