I was going to say...I really like the colour palette you went with - looks awesome.

Te full unit of billmen is now complete (bar the basing) with these six tumbling off the painting table last night.
Just the six MAA to do now.

Nice.  :D Cracking figures.

I'm got some of the claymore castings figures to paint in a mad panic before the end if the month.  ;D

Great job! As others have said, the colour scheme works really well.

Very nice figures! The only thing I would be concerned about is the polearms bending, unless you have replaced the hafts with wire.

Quite right, there's nothing worse than a wonky shaft in my experience. :o

I did consider swapping the shafts for steel pins.
And then I remembered I wasn't completely bonkers. lol

I was a bit concerned, but I think they've used some fairly "hard" pewter, so I don't think they'll suffer the same effects as some of my Gripping Beast bowmen.
I'll just have to be careful.
Going to store them in a Really Useful box, which should be gentler on them than in a carry case.

Thanks for all the kind words chaps.

You've helped spur me on to finish the MAA. Once again Claymore Castings - lovely models to paint.



Hoping to base the lot of them tomorrow night.

Some pictures of the finished retinue:

Men at Arms (Claymore castings models):



Billmen (also Claymore):



Archers (aged GW Bretonnians, sculpted by the Perrys):



The other unit of archers refused to pose for pictures, so I'll try again later.
I'd also like to try and get a group shot at some point.

Very nice.  Like the colour scheme - not too over the top.
