Since I abandoned my WotR project the figures have been lanquishing in storage awaiting being put up for sale on EBay. Each time I have been ready to list them Dave has persuaded to keep them or Richard has posted pics of his latest creations so it as not happened. Inspired by Saxon Dog and Painterman's blogs I have repainted some figures and based them for Impetus. I have two pikemen done and a mounted figure nearly done towards the next bases.

Excellent news Phil. I'd hate to see you getting rid of them... ;)
-
Excellent start. Everyone medievalist should have a Burgundian army err - looks across at lead pile - ideally a painted one lol

See,Phil, I have my uses!
Really nice figures in the flesh, despite being plastic garbage that is! :D
-
Heh heh... I did wonder at your sudden new-found enthusiasm for plastic... ::) ;)
-
I see plasticism rears its ugly head once more... ;)
Excellent paint jobs on wonderful figures. Say it loud they're plastic and proud! :D
-
Always fascinating, thanks. o_o
I shall never have a Burgundian army, because I am biased, at the same historical period Brittany was another problem for the French king and I prefer to paint Bretons :D but yes, in this time... Burgundy was... the main power... in the East... ::)
-
Indeed, what little is about in English on the 'Mad War' makes for interesting reading and of course the English poked their noses into that too.
-
really great looking unit, and Impetus basing really sets them off :) :)
-
Glad to hear that you got talked into Burgundians - welcome to the growing little cabal who are tackling Burgundians. Visually stunning... militarily inept!
Very nice looking figures Phil - putting them on your blog?

Excellent work!!
I'm almost finished my Burgundians, 3 more units to go!
Charles may not have faired that well on the battlefield, but he is honored by those of us who immortalize his army!
-
Great start :) I agree with Janner everyone should own a Burgundian army at some point....Sold mine :(Remembers fondly

Thaks for the comments and encouragement chaps, below are the WIP for the next bases. Not sure wether to base the pikes up on one big 120mm sq base or two 60x120mm bases.

First two pikemen, bills removed and wire pikes added.

First knight, built straight from the box except for some Pyrogravure work on the plumes.
-
A handsome looking knight :)
-
Very nice indeed 8) :-* :-*
Now wishing i hadnt given of my boxes of late Medieval Perry Plastics away after getting bored with the period lol
Have been musing on getting some more to use for very late 100 Years War or Italian Wars....new years resolution made or broken and it's not yet 2014 lol
-
The Knight looks great. Nice to see that you are using a pyrogravure. Is it 1970s vintage or a more modern purchase?

1970's I'm afraid, feeling old now.
-
I have to admit seeing 'pyrogravure' did bring to mind all those old Military Modelling articles from back in the day, where they would use one to turn a Historex Napoleonic French Hussar into all manner of things by using one... a WWI cavalryman, Macedonian War Elephant, VW Beetle, all manner of things were possible, they were like Dr Who's sonic screwdriver in the right hands.
;)
-
I have an Historex one too, bought from that quaint little model shop that used to be in the alley by the Midland Hotel and the old New Street Station in Birmingham town centre.
-
I unfortunately never got around to buying a pyrograuve, when I was doing plastics in the 70s I was still at school and the money I earnt working in the local newsagents after school and at weekends never quite stretched to the purchase of a pyrograuve. too much of my hard earnt cash was being allocated to LPs, discos, beer, cigarettes and girls. By the time I had surplus funds I was into lead. Nearest I ever got to a pyrograuve was a sharpened pin soldered to an old paint brush handle and heated up with either a candle or cigarette lighter.

Any more pics Phil?
I've been watching this topic with interest 8)

It will be a while yet I'm afraid, so busy with commission stuff and getting my early Great War stuff on the table at the moment to do more.

Ooh! I haven't seen any of your Great War stuff yet, I suppose it's on your website? I'll take a look anyway :).
