Charlie's 15th century - Some long-overdue Burgundians! (Feb 28)

[HappyChappy439]

Ah amazing! Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on some of these!

Looking forward to seeing these painted up!

Steel Fist are brilliant! Lovely work on the latest additions to your collection.

Do Steel Fist fit with Front Rank? Not really interested in Perry Medievals, sorry and all that.

Personally i would say no, Front Rank are bulkier though i realaise at the end of the day it's all about taste.

I cant wait to see them painted!

Some more light horsemen

Here's a few more singly-based light horsemen, which like the previous three could be used as baggage train guards, scouts, or just general set dressing on the table. One wears a French livery jacket, the others are all generic and can be used for either side.

Again they are all a mix of metal and plastic Perry parts - the horses are all metal, and two of them are actually from the Agincourt range. All have had headswaps, and two of the heads actually 3D prints from Warsteel Miniatures.

I've got two with drawn swords which I think will look good defending the baggage train, for scenarios where attacking or capturing it can be an objective. I'll do a few more such figures over time, including a few on foot.

And the other two are mounted crossbowmen. I'm particularly pleased with the pose of the one on the stationary horse!

[HappyChappy439]

Great work! These are really effective poses, and the Warsteel heads fit in perfectly!

It's a shame the Perrys don't sell separate packs of the Agincourt mounted sergeant horses, they're some of the best horses in their range!

Yes I have warmed to them, the face in the open sallet helm really came out well I think.

Yes they are good - some of them are clearly the same basic horse as some of the WOTR metal light cavalry ones but with different harness (and incidentally they are a bit skinnier), but the walking/standing poses aren't featured in the WOTR range.

Lovely work!

A new hobby space

It's been a couple of months since the last update, and I haven't done much painting in that time. The reason being that I've moved house.

And of course the most exciting thing about that is I now have a dedicated 'hobby room'. I'm very pleased with how it's laid out - I was worried that perhaps everything wouldn't fit as I'd envisioned, but turns out the opposite is true - I've got lots of room still to fill up. So we've got some display cabinets and other shelving, a spacious painting area with all paints and tools close to hand, a separate table for a laptop and a photography area, and lots of room for future storage. Not bad, huh?

All it needs to complete it is some Graham Turner prints on the walls!







Of course there's not room for gaming in here. That is what the garage / workshop is for.... More on that in the future!

That looks terribly civilised... and suspiciously tidy.

Creation is the art of destruction! 

You have a very lovely space there and one to be proud of.

[commissarmoody]

Great looking hobby space. I am trying to set mine up as well.

[Muzfish4]

That is indeed a nice looking space. My experience is that no matter how much space you think you have it's surprisingly easy to fill up, though you look way more organised than I will ever be.

[HappyChappy439]

That's a great looking space! Definitely jealous of how well organised it is!
