The latest figures to endure their spell under the Brush of Doom and muster into winter quarters in GHQ are a dozen Aventine Miniatures archers from three different packs: Command figures, archers wearing hats and bareheaded archers. They are a really useful addition to the collection as they can mix with the existing bases and serve in the forces of either Coronus Cunctator or Haztrubal Bicca! Versatile you might say! Like all Aventine Miniatures figures they are cleanly sculpted and cast and thus seem to love the paint and scrub up nicely with very little difficulty ~
On the down side its taken me the best part of a week to get these done due to my persistent hand issues! Next in the queue now are three mounted figures for the Wars of the Roses project, from Aly's latest Red Cross parcel, Henry Tudor, his Standard Bearer and a second mounted knight for my Lancastrians. They are underway, so I'd hope to share them with you in not too long...
Beautiful work on archers David!
ReplyDeleteVery fine, either side would be pleased to have them in their force.
ReplyDeleteNicely done David and light archers in this period are indeed very versatile
ReplyDeleteThey're a really useful looking unit. Don't be hard on yourself at taking three weeks, I've been the best part of a month trying to do some 21st Pz vehicles (Becker conversions) and they're only now ready for painting!
