EDIT: Judging by the way the pack is named, in hindsight, I guess the names and figures are ordered respectively, meaning that I was totally wrong! lol

And you're right, those Musketeer figures are very, very addictive.

Post by: Captain Blood on 02 March 2014, 12:23:07 PM: Nicely done Mitch. I recently painted him myself, and am indeed now quite addicted to painting these... Such a pleasure to work on - although I'm finding the small Saxon bucklers a bit darn fiddly...

This one has a GB plastic shield. I wanted a decent sized bit of shield art for this one. The one provided is really quite tiny. I'm going to add it to the other figure from the pack, who is a lot larger - it'll look like he's protecting himself with a pie dish rather than a shield!

Post by: Mitch K on 02 March 2014, 01:53:06 PM: Johnno, they're ace. GB bring the Musketeer range with them to shows. It took all my willpower to not buy the whole blooming lot!
