My only note is you should really move the buckler to the guys hand. A buckler is not worn on the arm like a shield it is center gripped.

Yes, thanks Dr Z.  I know that :)
It's mainly used to punch - an offensive weapon rather than an out-and-out defensive shield.
But as with the mixed armour, whilst it may not be right, I just like the effect it gives, as if strapped onto the forearm.
I'm really not a purist when it comes to historical accuracy, I'm afraid ;)

They are good, the mixture of the arms is spot on and would have been seen, the only one I don't like is the one with a shield, but if you like him that's the main thing, what's more I'm sure you could think of a plausible reason for him to have it. :)

Whoops did not read he was for Anniston, but everything else is vey plausible even though you don't care about exact historicity

Favourite has to be the archer nocking his arrow. Great expression on his face.  ;D

Well done Richard.  :-* :-*
The mix of plastics its very good and even if for some the historical reality isnt plausible, i think they look great and indeed there was a mix of old and new armour in all periods and for a certain time. >:D ;D
Like the romans, the WOTR knights wouldnt have all the latest faction in armour available. :D

There is colour, mate.

He has started to paint the green on two of them.

I think Richard changes his style to this new Fashion called Black and white. I think it is great work and surely a lot of fans will follow this new thing ;)

I am more flabbergasted that he has managed to paint the mounts of these men-at-arms invisible!  :D  ;)

They look great. I see what you mean about the new figures being slightly larger than the WotR figures though... that last knight does tower over the other one. It should create a bit of variation in the unit though

Love the WotR conversions Richard - despite any historical 'mismatches' they look great and add even more variety!
Inspiring combos, once again....
Simon.
