Yes, I'm afraid the LPL pretty much did for me this year :(

Great news on the Salute figure - thanks James.

Richard, I'm actually quite disturbed that you've waylaid your painting mojo!  :o

Lovely builds as usual Richard.  :D

Sorry to hear the urge to paint has done a runner. I've struggled the last couple of months too. Must be the time of year.

Calma, like the portugiese would say. You will find back to your mojo. In the moment you take an artistic outtime to come back stronger. And your Caveman-Table is fantastic, by the way.

Thanks lads :)

Yes, I find painting is something you have to be in the mood for. There's no mileage in trying to force it if your head's not in the right place. It becomes a chore and the results aren't as good.
I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks after next week, so I'm pretty sure I'll be raring to break out the brushes again come September  :)
Meanwhile, I'll just keep pushing the plastic bits together  :D

Right then, as mentioned, the advent of the Light Cavalry and Agincourt to Orleans sets from the Perrys, has allowed me to finally make up some real rabble... lower class light cavalry - hobilars, currours, coustillers, ribauds, scurrers - whatever you want to call ‘em. But basically horsemen, lightly arnoured but armed to the teeth, living in the saddle and used for scouting, foraging and harrying the countryside round about…

To create the rough-and-ready pillaging look, I’ve duly mashed-up parts from the Perry light cavalry set, using un-helmeted longbowmen heads and bucklers from the Agincourt-Orleans English Army set, plus a selection of slung helmets, bags, spare weapons, ropes and other bits and pieces from the new Frostgrave soldiers set, supplemented with a few Green Stuff pouches and bags. I've loaded them up to create the look of an army living off the land, and ready for mischief.

The first figure pictured sports one of the two heads included in the Perrys' Salute 2015 freebie miniature kit. Very useful, which is why I need to lay my hand on a few more of them!

Oh yes, very nice. The knights are of course excellent but I do find the scum to be the most interesting.  8)

Some of West Winds hooded heads from the Arthurian range might suit your "scummier" types?

Superb!  :-*

Shame about the painting mojo but it always comes back stronger after a bit of a holiday, an Apache knows how to wait  ;)
Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Splendid stuff, I like all the bits of kits and Greenstuff extras, it makes the figure really come to life. :)

Painting mojo? Haven't had one of those for ages. Painted some Baluchis and sailors for James aborted Mars game just beforenSalute and haven't painted anything since.  :'(

Nice builds.
I am sure they will look just gorgeous when the mojo returns.
