Title: Medieval Scots
Post by: GerryB21 on 11 March 2023, 11:51:39 AM: Still on the fence between doing either a Medieval Russian or a Scot/French army.

For the Scots I'm stuggling to find some 28mm MMA/ Spearmen in partial plate armour.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Gerry

If you want partial plate for your infantry then you're going to have to use the Perry Agincourt sets.
Claymore castings are good for HYW, but the scots were generally much less well equipped than their contemporaries until the 15th.c.

I've seen the antedeluvian stuff before, really nice figures. The army is for WAB so it may be awkward to have units meet in combat plus I'm not that good drilling stuff out. That said standard spears would be shorter than those very long spears in the picture.
