Here's a work in progress for some early Scots Pike, nothing painted yet but hopefully good to look at anyway. It's also an invitation for any book or other resource recommendations that you might have in addition to those i've listed on the blog post;

Great stuff. Your collection is the best ever, imho.

Very nice assemblies and conversions as ever Stuart

I know Osprey series can be a bit "curate's egg-ish" but the Osprey Elite 167 - Scottish Renaissance Armies, 1513-1550 by Jonathan Cooper is quite good for visual assistance.

Edit: Ah, should have read your blog first, as I see that's one of your core books! I suppose that means that I'm Flodden a dead horse.....

Great conversions, and excellent work on the sculpting (as usual)!

Silly question, but what's the chap on the right wearing here?

Thanks very much.

That’s a plackart

Ah right! Thanks for clarifying!

Keep up the great work!

Following and ready to nick ideas! Are you going to have the front row with pavises?

Stuart · « **Reply #11 on:** 07 September 2020, 06:38:04 PM »

I don’t know, the mind boggles at how these might have been carried downhill at Flodden or if they were just used while they were standing prior to the attack going in?

I’m tempted to do a couple of bases of standing figures with them but I’m not sure on the marching pose

Yeah I’d imagined them to be held high enough to prevent arrows hitting the bearer in the face. Unless they put their heads down and hoped for the best 🥺

As always incredible modelling...cannot wait time see them painted up in your usual style!

To some extent the pikes would act to take some of the impetus out of an 'arrow storm'.

I'm a bamboozled by the pavise question- how would one carry a pavise and a pike unless it was slung on the back? And even then?

Very interested in hearing what you all think
