As rule writing gets into full swing for my forthcoming game of stealth and derring-do, the collection of medieval outlaws has likewise begun. The first of my new medieval collection are below:

Robin Hood, Conquest Games

Little John, Conquest Games

Good stuff!

Nicely done

They look great!

I am looking forward to the rules.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Some of those new Baron's Wars miniatures might work well in this sort of project.

I've been very slowly plugging away at this project, so here are a few more wolfsheads.

Well-fed friar (AKA Friar Tuck), Trent Miniatures

Alan-a-Dale (note the lute strapped to his back), Midlam Miniatures

Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, recently returned from Crusade (or Hereward the Wake, recently returned from Flanders), Gripping Beast Miniatures with a shield swap

Generic Norseman, probably supporting Hereward the Wake...? Wargames Foundry with added bow and scratch-built arrow

Excellent stuff. Very well done

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #9 on:** July 27, 2019, 05:42:14 PM »

Great

I really like Wilf's shield

That is some cracking brushwork!

Thanks all. I've some Fireforge sprues that I have tried to bash into shape for late 12th century Sherrif's men, but can't decide on a livery. I don't need it to be historical, but I do want something plausible.

Would sergeants in the service of a knight all have the same shield blazon? Or all use the knight's colours at least?

To defend all civilised Christians from the outlawry and heresy of the wolfsheads of Sherwood, the Sheriff of Nottingham has invited his distant cousin Sir Guillaume le Fauconnier to come and exploit the local peasantry.

All figures are Fireforge plastics - a mixture of foot knights and foot sergeants from two sprues I picked up. For the games I am intending, the eight men shown here should more than suffice to represent the villains...

Individual pictures are on the blog for anyone interested.

I've had that "Friar Tuck" mini for years and have almost included it in just about every project I've got into but somehow he's never made it yet!

Kind Regards
