He looks great. I think you've inspired me to order some of the Antediluvian figures sooner rather than later.
Good to hear you have plans for Myton, should be an interesting one to game. It's definitely a bit of a quirky battle, with the aforementioned monks, plus peasant rabble and burning haystacks!

Splendid work once more Iain

Once again, I really do love your 'loose' painterly style- obviously tempered with excellent brush control exemplified by the tight heraldic devices

Great painting.

And will follow with great interest.

Super! That shot where the pike* is pointing sort of toward the viewer is great. Bloody lovely painting too.

*Don't know much about this period, so I'm not sure if his pointy thing is properly referred to as a pike. Looks like a pike to me, though.

Those Matthew Bickley mini's are fantastic! You are doing the mini's justice with your painting. Beautiful!

Yeah, I tend to refer to them interchangeably as pike or spear. The weapons were probably around 12-14 feet long at this stage, so pretty long spears... AKA pikes to me! I'm not a pike purist who quibbles over a couple of feet. Life's too short...

Damn straight!

Another pikeman; one of two in this particular pack that I think are going to become "classics" and end up in all sorts of armies for years to come...
