Early renaissance Scots army, latest update page 10

Quite remarkable as always, they appear to have stepped out of an oil painting into the round.

I am surprised, though, aren't the golden cross and choughs on blue St Edward's arms?  And also used by Richard II if memory serves?  Did they come to Scotland by some strange route, or were they shared by someone else?

[Stuart]

They’re the arms of St Margaret of Scotland. and, confusingly identical to those of Edward the Confessor. They were both related (uncle) and she was originally Margaret of Wessex. In the same year Henry VIII also took the banner of Edward the Confessor to France. confusing stuff

[Atheling]

Great to see the unit come together over the last few days (on't other network ) and they certainly do not disappoint Stuart

Those figures are simply gorgeous.  They just seem to keep getting better and better,

This. Your figures always remind me of period illustrations come to life.

[Metternich]

Your pike are just magnificent.  The very spirit of the age.

[Shahbahraz]

I wish there was an uptick mechanism for the Hawkwind reference.

Here's the recent unit of Scots Pike based up and combined with the previous unit.

I've gathered my thoughts on the development of the unit (as well as more photographs) over on my blog https://stuartsworkbench.blogspot.com/2021/06/scots-pike-part-ii.html

Enjoy

A magnificent spectacle they are indeed. 

[Atheling]

A fine array! 

Time very well spent in putting such a unique unit together Stuart! There is certainly no other like it 

[Helen]

Very impressive collection. Thanks for sharing.

[Romark]

Super job Stuart

[Baron von Wreckedoften]

[Friends of General Haig]

A truly awesome pike bloke! (I also really like the sky backdrop.)

[Sparrow]

Very nice (and a proper sized pike block to!)
