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

[Captain Blood]

Good stuff Steve. Some nice poses and characters there... The crossbowmen do look good (shame they're going to get twatted to hell by the speed and accuracy of the longbowmen  ).

[OSHIROmodels]

Don't hate me 

Looking good Steve 

cheers

These fine fellows just need some pavises to hide behind and they'll be fine - trust me 

[Aaron]

That is quite a nice collection. The blacksmith set up is very well done. 

[DonVoss]

The houses are looking great and I really like the yards and the fencing.

I hate to say it, because it seems too late to change, but for me there are way too many 90° in the build ups. This is a minor flaw to me. It just does not look organic enough for a medival village. It looks to erm... roman.
But perhaps this can be changed by the final set up on the table...

Great work on the anvil and the smaller stuff...

[Malamute]

All rather jolly nice. I likey

I love all the extra little details especially the blacksmiths 

[janner]

Great start 

[Malamute]

Thanks Nick & Stephen  

  As well as cabbages and fruit bushes there be chickens and carrots.....  

Aha! I have found the chickens, but I can't find the carrots

Many villages were divided into regular plots and there's only so many ways you can face a house and not waste land you were renting at a premium. Some fortunates might have multiple plots they rented, but again, houses either faced a road or were sideways on.

Now if we're talking how we imagine a medieval village to look....

Really like what you've done to enahance and vary the Perry kits. 
Simon.

[Malamute]

Thanks all!

They are to the front of the biggest cottage and can be made out just to the right of its front door - they'll look more like carrot tops when painted....

Found them now

Wonderful stuff

[commissarmoody]

No Mill! You need to work on that

A lot depended on whether it was a new or an established village. New villages, such as colonists in Wales, Ireland and parts of England, were often better organised and less organic.

Some were organised by having a plot that started at the road and the tenants then cleared back in a set strip for several hundred metres. This was also very common in 'German' villages in Eastern Europe.

Wonderful stuff. I'm very jealous.   

I have such plans to build fortifications, encampments and villages that all come to nothing because I can't justify the time to build something I'm never going to use. I probably should actually start playing some games at some point... 

[Dalauppror]

Greate looking minis and it looks like there will be a very nice village to

Best regards Michael
