The French are coming...Pictures included
« on: October 25, 2018, 01:52:57 PM »
Hi Folks,

it's been a while since I posted here but I have been busy of late painting up some more of my Perry miniatures collection as French and Bretons. These will be used as mercenaries in the service of Henry Tudor for my Battle of Exeter game and for using in a 1475 invasion game I am also planning.

Please check out my blog space - https://jerseyprivateer2.blogspot.com/

I have resurrected my Photobucket account and so have place some of the pictures here too.

Nice paintings! Did you mention the rules you will use?

Rules of choice are either Hail Caesar (yet to try them out), Perfect Captain's A Coat of Steel - a very good set of rules once you have worked out what all the counters are for. I have also been recommended Tree of Battles, again I haven't tried them out but have been told they play quite well.

These fellows look great, the pike block is superb! I've used Hail Caesar for my WOTR games so far, nice and simple but works for me.

Nice!  What makes them particularly Breton?

Great painting and very nice arrangement.  Looking forward to more.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

The Breton colours are white with the Black cross, other than that it would be the language, but that's a bit tricky to model :D
