Mordheim / HYW Warband

Vibrant colours and great bases, great stuff. I hate plastic but this almost makes me want to pick up a box of bretonnians.

Love the bases, excellent work!

Smashing stuff! What other warbands are you going to create to go with them?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Much appreciated!

To answer some of the questions:

** in SoB&H: Pretty straightforward, but with a few tweaks:

Sir Henry & Sgt.s Weller & York are Leaders, Friar Cuthbert is a Cleric & Young Will counts as Warrior -these are the characters when running Mordheim.
The Men at Arms are Heavy Infantry, and the Archers are Archers, but give them shoot: long instead of medium.. just can't have longbows firing that isn't long! up their points to 48 (since elf archers are long and cost 55, but they're better quality, so seems about right)

the halfling run as a halfling thief but add short shooter for a few points.
and allow an Ogre in as a minotaur guard stats, and just swap a shield instead of the 2nd weapon.

** Miniatures: They are mostly made from GW Bretonian Men at Arms, as many pointed out. They're all converted to some degree though- I used many parts from the human Mordheim sprues. I also got rid of the enormous bretonian shields and used old GW empire shields.  The knight is also a bretonian men at arms body, with an older knight of the realm helm, and bastard sword from the mordheim sprue: given his moniker, it seemed the right weapon.

The hobbit is from marauder, the last one I had from when I bought a pack new, back in late 80's/early 90's.. wish I had had more money back then... so much I'd like to have got.  He was holding a spear, which I converted into a crude bow.  And yep, the Ogre is Rackham- great miniatures!

As for other warbands, I have a half painted skaven group, but they need reworking and such. and I converted up an Orc warband from Orc warriors, black orc plastics & the old multi-part night goblins- and replacing their bows with more recent bows, since those too-thick bows are really looking dated now. I have a few squigs and an amazing troll from Warploque Miniatures for them.  They're unpainted all, but someday... I also have a warband made from the Rackham japanese goblins & ogres, (unpainted still) that I need to have some good uninterrupted paint time to tackle.

Very nice indeed, even if most accounts of the Hundred Years War omit the role of ogres and hobbits in the conflict ...

Too true.. have to set straight this human-centric revisionist history
