As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, next up on the painting desk to suffer under the ministrations of the Brush of Doom are a base of MAA on foot. The base represents the Household of Sir John Neville, Marquis of Montagu, with his heraldic banner provided by Pete's Flags via Ebay. The base consists of six Perry Miniatures from the MAA Attacking set, one from their set of Standard Bearers, and one which was a Partizan Freebie back in the mists of time. ☆See if you can spot him and say who he represents!
Phil has finished painting the remaining nine horse for me and so the next target for me will be to paint the mounted MAA to finish that aspect of the project. There will remain then a base of Scottish spearmen and another of Scottish rabble with big choppers and such, the latter using the Kern figures. I do have enough figures remaining for a further base of Billmen and for a Retinue Command stand, so just a base of Archers would be needed to complete yet another Retinue!!!!!! I may just bite the bullet and pick some up at The Other Partizan on Sunday.
☆Oh, just in case you didn't recognise the Freebie I included on the base it was representing Lambert Simnell of course, sporting a cooking pot helmet from his days in the Royal kitchens as a scullion!
Another fyne addition to the array combined with a neat little touch of whimsy for good measure.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it both reached the required level for your approval and tickled your fancy!
DeleteNice work! Cooking pot helmet is a fun addition. I have not quite figured out if each stand is one maneuver element or just one of a multi-stand BMU?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan, much appreciated. I think that both you and I have not worked the answer out as yet. They can be both as in our Italian Wars project. They should get a run out in the next week or so using Hail Caesar first, though I set out to use Midgard originally, and may still do so. As Phil and I usually provide both sides for a game we don't bother much about basing or unit sizes.
DeleteThey look great David!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Christopher, I always appreciate your encouragement.
DeleteSuper command stand and a lovely bit of humour by adding the Simnell figure to it. Very nice work on this stand.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to be encouraged, so thanks once again Donnie.
DeleteSimnell is a nice touch. I have just picked up On Bloody Ground rules, the wars of the Roses edition, so something to explore for this period. Enjoy Partizan.
ReplyDeletePleased you approved of LS as an additional whimsy Norm.
DeleteLovely work David…..you are certainly cracking through the bases, the benefit of giving one project all your focus.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt! I'm usually a tad OCD with my projects, until I'm not of course.
DeleteAnother great base there David and the addition of Lamber Simnell is a neat idea and really adds a certain something to the whole:).
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ! LS does seem to have gone down well!
