The White Company

[thequestingvole]

I've been reading "The White Company" to my son of late and it has put me in mind to try a spot of Lion Rampant. I'd be very surprised if I'm the only one that's thought of portraying the company in miniature - but I can't find anything searching the forum.

Has anybody else tackled this?

Honestly I've only read it the once and I can't remember much about it, except the friendly duel between the crossbowman and the longbowman!

Been years since I read it, but I must admit it has always been one of those "one day" projects in the back of my head. I may have to dig it out and give it another go as I can't remember any specifics about the force composition of the White Company itself.

I do remember there is quite a stirring battle though, as Sir Nigel valiantly defends against superior numbers (Unless that was in the prequel, Sir Nigel.. like I said, its been years...)

I do remember Samkin Aylward the archer carrying a looted bed about with him though.

Like everyone else - apparently. it has been years since I last read the books. But I cannot really remember any details that could be modeled to make them stand out in a medieval army.

I'm only a few chapters in - but the livery seems to be a white surcoat with a red lion.

Painting this at 1/72 may prove impossible.

Thanks for this thread just got both books free in the Kindle store. Looking forward to reading them.
