Ooh - I've got to get to Salute this year to get a box of the new light horse. No getting collared for dog-sitting that weekend this year.

Marvelous work once again Captain Blood

Will there be cross-thread stuff with this thread and GoT thread of yours?

Michael kindly offered me the chance to take away the test sprue they had on display once the show was over – which naturally, I did. Very pleased to get the chance to get my mitts on these two months ahead of their official launch at Salute

Luckayy!

Brilliant work as always. No wonder you get the special freebies!

Really, it's a first

(Although they did give me a free box of Desert Rats at Salute a couple of years back)

Funny you should say that. As I am merging parts from the Agincourt to Orleans set into the WoTR sets, I am creating slightly less distinctively late C15th types, some of which may well serve for GoT as well. I'll post a few more builds tomorrow to show what I mean...
The slight difficulty there is that instead of my very distinctive WoTR livery colours, I have to start painting figures in more neutral colours so they can multitask for either WoTR or GoT. I probably won't do that with many, but I will do it with a few...

Here are a few more longbowmen constructed by mixing components from the various WOTR sets with the Agincourt to Orleans (A-O) set.
Truthfully, I prefer the longbow arms from the A-O set to those in the original WoTR set. The bows are a litle bit longer and more, um, shapely. They just look better on the figures. The A-O set also includes several different sheaves of arrows, which are all extremely nicely done.

Most of these figures haven't been cleaned up and filled yet, so they look a bit rough round the edges at the moment...

Longbowman with trumpet – using a pair of arms from the A-O set (also one of the new bundles of arrows on his belt) on one of the standard bodies and heads from the original WoTR bows and bills set. I’ve puffed out his cheeks a bit with Green Stuff so he looks more like he’s actually blowing…

Longbowman in hood, knocking. Again, A-O arms on a regular infantry body. Arrow sheaf from the A-O set, as is the head, which I’ve extended with Green Stuff to make more of a long hood. The overall effect might look a bit early for WoTR, so he may end up going towards the Game of Thrones collection. I’ll see how I feel when I paint him.

Longbowman loosing. Again, regular WoTR infantry body with A-O longbow arms, head, and arrow sheaf…

Longbowman reaching for arrows – this one is actually a standard build from the WoTR bills and bows box, except for his head, which is from the recent Foot Knights box, and the sheaf of arrows stuck in the ground which are from the A-O set (actually quite a bit nicer than the original version included in the WoTR infantry set).

Again, standard WoTR body with my favourite ‘shouting’ head in an open sallet, paired with a couple of arms from the A-O set, to portray a longbowman striding forward to finish off a downed enemy with his hand axe…

Similarly, A-O arms and buckler on a standard WoTR body, with a visored sallet from the Foot Knights set.

Finally, tried it the other way round… A pair of longbow arms from the WoTR bows and bills set, on a body and helmeted head from the A-O set. Unfortunately, I think the long, knee-length gambeson, really is too distinctively from an earlier period to pass for WoTR (even though I’m sure there were still some around in the 1460s – 1470s). So I’ve added a fur cape of Green Stuff, and this one will almost certainly be going off to join the Starks of Winterfell…

And now I have rather a lot of painting to do!

Most cool Richard

rumacara · « **Reply #1496 on:** March 01, 2015, 12:02:34 PM »

Again, a lovelly combination of sprues/bits and green stuff.

Looking very good.
I must get my hands on some of those WOTR bodies for my conversions.

Oh those light cavalry look great. Those are now on the Salute shopping list!

Love the character that your models have, and I can't wait to see all of these guys painted!
