Dog Rough Soldiers - Norman Church

[Digits]

Ok, if you ignore my dodgy painting that makes them look more like blokes in dresses than fair maidens, then this helps set the scene….

Great minis and scenery! You're being unfair to yourself: I don't find that they look like blokes in dresses.

Mate, the one in the blue dress has a five o’clock shadow! 😕

It’s probably how any working class woman who reached the age of 40 looked in those days after the  wear and tear.  40 year old men looked 60…this ain’t a flaw, it’s a feature.  Think of the descriptions of Portsmouth ‘brutes’, the jack tar’s particular relish.

Which is probably why some husbands probably saw a quick way to get rid so he could marry someone younger….”you know,  now I think on it, I do believe  my wife may be a witch!”


Edit:  taken the plunge and ordered this fella from Reaper.   I have a notion in my games that if the witches can’t be dealt with quickly….they bring him into this world…then my hapless dog soldiers will be in a wee bit of trouble!

The witches and dunking stool are spot on.  You need a couple wearing scolds masks to flesh out the scene.

I wish I could find one!  Colonel Bills apparently used to have one, but I can’t see it anywhere.

The Col Bills range moved to Warbases

Great thank you.   Found it as a part of a set of villagers……I may wait a bit for it as I really only want that one mini….

Ok, I want to really crack on and get these rules sorted….so I need to finish up any major models I still need.   With that in mind I have now ordered my church…..looking forward to tackling that one!



I am eagerly awaiting James’ take on the medieval butter market, and I need to find a good looking lychgate….

I have also been keeping an eye out for a few metal witches…and have settled on these from Reaper.



On my bench I have a few gribblies….a black dog and a werebat, and I have started to paint a few Marquess of Newcastles white coats….one of my “favourite” Royalist regiments who will form the backbone of the opposition to my dog soldiers,  and be at the centre of a werewolf clan!

That church is a beast! Have lots of primer spray ready. Lots of primer.

David,
That church looks big enough to live in.
Sell up and move in.
Plenty of room for the hobby then 

[Silent Invader]

  Great set of witches

[Captain Blood]

Lovely scenes at the village pond 

Great work David
