Title: Looking for Arrows
Post by: racm32 on November 02, 2014, 04:12:23 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find arrows in 28mm scale or any good suggestions on how to make some. Want them for my norman Archers:

You could try broomstick brushes.

And if you use some kind of flat plyer (or what ever the English word for it is) to flatten the arrow end you can then sharpen it with a knife to make the arrow head.

I have used this technique to create javelins and arrows.

For example the arrows on this unit.

Paperclips with the tip hammered flat?

If you get the WotR plastic command sprue from Perry Minis, for £4 plus postage you will get arrows plus a whole bunch of other useful stuff.

I second the Perry WotR idea.

A got some with old khmeri-miniatures from Warhammer. Maybe you can find some sprue at ebay or a bring-and-buy on a convention.
