Wowsers! 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Absolutely lovely!         

I've just assembled about 70 plastic Perry WotR troops and this thread is an inspiration, thanks.

The two new Milanese crossbowmen let me round out a second unit of Italian mercenary skirmishers for Billhooks, thusly...



Joining the newly constituted handgunners - all of whom have been previously pictured somewhere up above (I think )



This does leave me a few Milanese odds and ends... Not sure what I'm going to do with them, so for the time being I'm going to use them for purely decorative purposes 

They’re delightful. Quite probably the most impressive Italian Wars unit I’ve seen.

Bellissimo! 👌

You’re tempting me to paint a few myself.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

[Bloggard]

all absolutely outstanding.
good as it gets really.

[levied troop]

They are utterly beautiful Captain. 

[MaaX]

So beautiful

This painting can only be the result of some sort of wizardry.  Stupendous.

[James Morris]

Great stuff. Can I also say I was particularly impressed with the painting/ modelling section in Billhooks Deluxe, very inspiring!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks chaps.

For several years, I have followed this impressive project, even before deciding to write in this forum. It seems to me a very inspiring project, so much so, that in part, it encourages me to start mine, from the Spanish colonial wars, in North Africa.

Surely, do not say anything new, has not already been said about this project. Even so, I will insist, my most sincere congratulations, for so many hours of hard work and for your collection of miniatures, which are the envy of any lover of this hobby

[Captain Blood]

That's very kind of you to say so, Abrasapuentes. Gracias

Here is the next reconstituted unit, comprising several older mounted figures, and brought up to the correct unit size for 'Billhooks' with a newly painted mounted figure, plus two repainted mounted figures (to change their previous liveries).

Sir Robert Tenchley of Staffhurst (a local magnate in my - strictly ahistorical - local WOTR campaign setting) with his mounted retinue.

I don't know if any historical main players boasted a claret and yellow livery like this (properly 'murrey and gold' perhaps), but they should have done because it's dead smart

Prime targets

Ooh that's nasty! 
Grand show, this is a gallery of inspiration.

Lovely work all round! 

I'm sure I recognise a couple of these lads from the Westeros project way back when! Excellent work keeping them versatile!
