Thanks

I'm now working on painting the Warsteel crossbowmen and handgunners. Then onto the second company of Warsteel pikemen.

In the meanwhile... being an inveterate fiddler, I couldn't wait to try a few of Simon's 130 (

!!!!!) new heads on some Perry bodies.
And since I had to build four more horsemen to bring another of my mounted retinues up to full strength for 'Billhooks', I thought - why not?

As you can see, the Warsteel heads are a great fit and extremely sharply printed. I think they set the Perry figures off a treat, and create a gazillion new, interesting possibilities... Especially if you want more Continental European-looking cavalry for Burgundy / France / Germany etc.

In the interest of fairness (and since Simon kindly sent me soooo many pikemen

), I thought I'd also try it the other way round, and pop some Perry heads onto the Warsteel bodies

I already have (painted) a company of 12 marching Scots pikemen. So figured I'd add a second attacking company to turn it into a 24-man block or schiltron.

To help the two companies blend in together, I thought Perry heads would work better to create some visual continuity. I've also given most of the figures bucklers (from the HYW sets), which will add a further visual link between the two 12-man companies...

Again, as you can see, the components work pretty well together

I will have to have some of those Warsteel figures for Westeros it seems!

Not sure how much of that is GRRM's own high medieval influences, or the armor styles the TV show's costume designers gravitated towards, but those more continental helmets are striking a chord with me.

Those are some nice heads. Good to see how well they work with the Perry's stuff.

Those Warsteel fellas look amazing. I will definitely be on board with that kickstarter. They look like they are easy to paint as well.
