Lion Rampant Retinue (finished retinue 17/01)

[Elbows]

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

[TWD]

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.

[Ray Earle]

Nice.  Cracking figures.

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

[Slayer]

nice, love the colours of those chaps

[blacksoilbill]

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

[rivers3162]

Very nice! Those Claymore Castings are lovely figures.

[Atheling]

Really nice work Tom 

Darrell.

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.

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

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.

They look great. Love the colours.

[TWD]

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.

[Atheling]

Nice! 

Darrell.

[Hu Rhu]

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