I'm still trying to figure out how I missed these.
Your non metallic's are spot on,
I bought some foot sore at York back in February and wasn't overly impressed.Your painting has me wondering if I wasn't overly hastie chucking them in the bits box.
Would it be greedy to ask for more images ?as I imagine most of us would love to see them on mass,just to get a better feel of your painting style.

Standard was a simple conversion of a spare archer...  replaced the right hand with a sword one from the bits box. removed the bow from the left and drilled it out to take the pole, removed the 'quiver' and strap and, lastly, the sword handle from the scabbard.

Very nice Dags  8)

I'm finally working on my Footsore Arthurian / Romano-Brits now... Quite a mountain to climb.

Horse archers in sub-Roman Britain always seem a wee bit improbable to me, but they look jolly good.
