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.
Very nice work on the crossbow troops and I agree that the two different makes work really well together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie. Folk worry over much about mixing different makers' figures in my view.
DeleteThey look great David! Ready to pincushions out of their enemies.
ReplyDeleteSo long as they are on my side!
DeleteSome fine looking Bernies there Mr. B.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! See you later this morning!
DeleteVery smart David, Lovely transfers.
ReplyDeleteThanks George! Good to see you back!
DeleteExcellent work and composition there David and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would not have known the figures were from different manufacturers. The chap on the ground holding his head is a nice touch:).
ReplyDeleteThanks SteveJ, always good to have your encouragement.
