Tiles and brick detailing are superb...and well they'd have to be next to your figures!

Spectacular!

A bit like a Brueghel painting!
Photographed very effectively too.
My armies:
- Henry VIII's army (WIP) 15mm
- Ancient Germans (28mm)
- Ancient Belgae (Gauls with German allies) (28mm)
- Massilian Greeks (Greeks and Gallic mercenaries/subjects) (28mm)
- A few EI Romans (28mm)
- Handful of WW2 British (15mm)
- A load of old 1993-1999ish Warhammer Orcs and Goblins

A stunning set of buildings, wonderfully set off by great photography.  Looks like a film set!

Very nice!!!

A question just occurred to me concerning the Siege of Therouanne, which you can probably answer Stuart. Why was it held by the French? If the county of Artois had been ruled by Maximilian since 1493... Was Therouanne some sort of isolated French pocket it Imperial territory, or had it previously been captured by the French? I've searched around but haven't found a concrete answer.

The treaty of Senlis ceded Artois to Maximilian with the exceptions of Therouanne & Tournai which remained under French Royal domain.

Not an easy read but it’s full of interesting titbits
