Excellent progress Steve, really well executed. What about a garden full of logs ready to chop up for the winter?

It’s been made from 2 sets of Renedra Dilapidated Barn, that I was able to pick up for a good price.
Very nicely done.

I cannot believe that I have missed this entire thread. It looks amazing.

One or two of the gardens could perhaps do with at small midden or compost heap. If you still have any blank spots to fill out.

That's an ingenious use of the Renedra barns. Very clever indeed, it looks great. ;D

Thanks chaps - very much appreciated.  :D

The suggestions for logs and compost heaps are great and will certainly add life, so thank you for those too.

One advantage of using the GW houses and the Renedra barns is a load of ‘atmospheric’ extras. Barrels, baskets, ladders, tools, and even a pair of wagon wheels that I can use to make a wagon. Excellent.

I have nothing interesting to show on the terrain but while waiting for stuff to cure I have sorted out the mini collection (almost all of it raw lead!) into units for Pikemans Lament. I’ve come up with two Companys that can play either as allies or as enemies:



All minis are by Bicorne with some plastic Warlord Games bits used for conversions.

Great stuff! Can't you have Daisy Duke and maybe Enos as villagers?   ;)

Re: 17thC England: UD 9/3: Unit of Forlorn Hope Aggresive for PL (WIP)
« Reply #119 on: March 09, 2020, 02:34:43 PM »
Thanks chaps some great suggestions that could appear, though I can’t deny a penchant for characters/actors from the 1970s action TV series of my youth.  :D

Meanwhile I’ve actually worked on some minis....



These will be a unit of Forlorn Hope Aggressive (in essence, Fighting specialists) for PL. They don’t get to Shoot but as PL isn’t a WYSIWYG game, I’ve spiced up their look by including  a carbine, three pistols and only two swords.

The minis are all Bicorne. Two are from the Dismounted Dragoons pack and 4 are from Pikemen Fighting with Swords. I used plastic bits from  Warlord Games for the conversions.
