Scottish Infantry at Lewes

[Atheling]

Just Google Triguard Miniatures,that’s what I did
Very nice they are too!

Tried a cut and paste and got nothing except for Tiger miniatures 

So, my google Foo is up to it's usual tricks 

I suppose I should have mentioned that shouldn't I!

40mm and www.triguardminiatures.com

Used to be Vanguard Men-at-arms sold by the Miniature Service Centre.

Initial pictures of the new Scots will be up soon.

Thanks Phillius, much appreciated 

Now that i've seen the miniatures I remember them from a few years ago.

Please feel free to post up pics of the miniatures as they are released. I believe the Commercial sub fora of the Bazaar is the usual place to post up commercial stuff.

Very much looking forward to seeing the Scots!

Take this with a pinch of salt, but from memory accounts of the battle of Largs a year after Lewes don't mention schiltrons at all - axes and short spears are the things.

IIRC the Norwegian material is largely focused on the Scottish MAA on their 'Spanish' horses.

From memory, it actually goes back to the historical literature (I cannot recall which documents off the top of my head but it definitely exists).

You're almost certainly correct. Medieval "historians" were pretty fast and loose on their facts.

It's pretty much rooted in a mixture of Scottish romance and Englich nationalism - so often it's the other way around.

There is more sense being talked in this thread than in most books...

Sadly that is all too true. If you want a good laugh you could check out Nusbacher's 'Banockburn' which may well be the very worst history book I've ever encountered.....and I've read Thomas Costain's 'Three Edwards'.

Horses in sombreros are on my to do list for Largs...

That was kind of my point though I would have said modern Scottish and English nationalism. That is to say Victorian Romanticism.
