Excellent  :)

Thanks for the comments... Here are a few more...

Firstly a fairly straightforward knight, just about to turn into a charge. A definite Englishman I think. Clean cut and upstanding. Built from the parts in the MMAA box, but with a visored sallet from the command sprue of the original WOTR set - the classic WOTR helmet.





Next, number 5 - a ruffianly pricker, standing up in his stirrups at the gallop, looking for the next poor unfortunate deserter to run through the back. Again, the head on this chap comes from the original WOTR box command sprue. It's a great face. A builder's face. When they did a facial reconstruction of one of the men from the Towton grave pits, this was the face. A battered pugilist. Apart from that, he's a fairly straight build from the MMAA box, although I've given him a sword and buckler as befits a brawling ruffianly fighter...





And now, the foot figure bonus... another hybrid, taking a command figure from the WOTR box and adding a helmet, appropriate right arm and hammer from the MMAA set...



I have a couple more on the workbench now, including a rather ambitious full cut-and-shut Frankenstein job. So hopefully more tomorrow  :)

Be careful about bringing it to life.  It'll just chase you around, insisting on talking about philosophy while murdering your loved ones.

More great combos Richard - am really liking the 'pricker'.
Initially I thought the horses look a bit too big for 15th century destriers, but they're not looking that way on your pics.
