WotR WIP - unit of light cavalry added (21/1/13)

[Atheling]

I love this. Poleaxes are The Daddy.    Top painting and a lovely setting too.

Were you aware that it was also the name of a 15th Century Burgundian fighting manual detailing the use of the poleaxe in combat? Our historical fencing group have used it on occasion. Bit of a marathon as it's text only, but I have a PDF of a translation with a few illustrations from Talhoffer and other sources added in if you'd be interested in a copy?

You probably already knew all that... 

I could be tempted to give it a good read  .

[commissarmoody]

Sounds pretty intresting to me, I would be willing to give it a read.

[JollyBob]

Right you are then chaps, I've attached it below. 

Its actually a Word doc rather than a PDF, but I'm old and easily confused.    Hope you enjoy it!

[WuZhuiQiu]

So, how did you model those nice shrubberies?

[Ragnar]

So, how did you model those nice shrubberies?

Seconded, I would like to know too.

[Papa Spanky]

I like the shrubbery alot, very convincing.
 Now make us another one and place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle.

But where are the birds and rabbits etc  

cheers

Don't get Steve started doing bits like that James, anyway we don't have the half pence piece anymore for his bases do we  

[Captain Blood]

Very tasty Steve. They look even better en masse 

[aircav]

Fantastic Stuff Steve, they look brilliant altogether 

Can't wait to see the rest of the Army 

[Malamute]

Impressive stuff, I can't wait to see them in a game(hint, hint)

[Malamute]

Me too!

With the first 90 odd finished I'll be able to test the rules (a derivation of the Aliens rules.... without pulse rifles, shotguns and Aliens!) though this project will be about 250-300 minis in total

Can I provide the sound effects?

[Little Odo]

Fantastic looking unit. Just one question though - I was led to believe that the banner device at the top of the flag usually depicts that the banner belongs to the eldest son of... Is Sir Edward Mortimer the eldest son of Lord Rochforde or have I got my heraldry wrong? Can someone put me right if I have got it wrong please.

[Little Odo]

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Looking forward to seeing more of this army.

[Marine0846]

I am enjoying following your thread as you paint your army.
They are looking great.

[commissarmoody]

That seems to go along with my line of thinking, but I am not expert.
