Then this thread can end 

But what if we all don't want it to end?

Reminds me of a quote I've always loved: "People argue abouth the 'Golden Age' of science-fiction. Some people say it was the 1940s, others the 1950s. They're all wrong. The Golden Age of Science Fiction is twelve."

Oh! Very good, I like that!

Huzzah! I doubt I'd be alone in demanding an infantry thread alongside this one. Double the work for you, but we don't care.

Well you did say the conversion possibilities are endless..........  

[SBRPearce]

But does that also mean that the conversation possibilities are also endless?

Of course, even if you've only been on LAF a short time, you will have learnt a variety of ways to say "That's nice".

Well you might get your wish... I've just been assembling my forces for a game this weekend with Silent Invader at Matakishi's Tea Party, and I discover to my slight embarrassment that out of almost 130 assorted metal and plastic, foot and mounted Perry WOTR figures painted, based and ready for action, I have precisely 20 longbowmen 

And as you, my learned Arlequin, will be the first to agree, whichever ratio of bow : bills and other arms you subscribe to, 1 bow : 6 bills/MAA/pikes/mercs/cavalry is almost certainly far too low!
So I've started building a shedload more longbowmen, which I might as well post on this thread as I go... 

I am being creative with them 

(Sorry Thorbjorn )

[Dr. The Viking]

Haha as long as it all makes it to Woking in November I don't give a darned.

[Bugsda]

This should run and run like Coronation Street, every old thespian ends up there sooner or later.

It will be fine, ask them to prove you're wrong... 

 

[Captain Blood]

Here we go then... Not strictly mounted men at arms, but having realised a late English medieval army with only around 15% longbowmen is not really enough, I have been busily constructing new bows - as ever, trying to mix and match parts to avoid the more predictable builds... 

The first one... 'Just put those f*cking stakes in there, will you!'



A stout woodsman...



A professional...



A retinue man...



Another pro...



And another...



Foreign, surely?



Gentleman ranker...



Serious shootist...



Up and over...



Signals department...



That should improve my ratios a bit...
