Skirmishing in the HYW with Perry-Plastic

[sukhe_bator]

Beautiful brushwork . I feel like I can barely get pigment onto the plastic by comparison...

This thread is awesome and your figures amazing! Glad to see more being added here.

Very inspirational.

Cause I want to stay with the plastic theme, I had to convert something to get some cav on the field.

I used the perry light cavalry box as a base.
So here are e few WIP pics.



From left to right: first, just a headswap from the HYW box, 2. got a torso and arms from the HYW french infantry box, 3rd got a little greenstuff chainmail and the last guy got a hood-neck-thing modelled. All heads are from the french infantry box.

Not intended for the same unit...just a first test to see wich way to go....

btw. what a lovely box indeed...

Cheers,
Don

They work very well

Very nice conversions.
Your thread, as a few others, is really good to show all the possibilities of the plastic boxes from Perry Miniatures.

Very good mix of plastics and GS.
Keep it coming.

I was considering the same thing for a unit of mounted infantry for LR - and you've totally just done it for me. They look splendid!

[DonVoss]

Glad you like the cav....

Here is the next batch of french.



Little bit boring so far, just crosssbows and knights. But the more fancy stuff is on the painting board....

Cheers,

Oh wow, those cavalry conversions are fantastic! I hadn't thought of using the Agincourt spear arms on the WOTR light cavalry, I'll have to give that a go at least.

Lovely conversions - they look really convincing - thanks for sharing your excellent growing HYW collection.

So here are the first painted mounted longbowmen.
It always takes me ages to get cav painted...dont know why...




And thanx for your nice comments....

Cheers,

You just convinced me to go for plastic for my medieval needs  

You really nail it, a perfect balance between tabletop "readability" (so I'm sure the figure stays nice no matter the distance or light conditions) and showcase painting technical level. COngrats !

Which unit entry would you use for mounted infantry? Mounted Yeomen? I am just wondering as I picked up a box of Perry's WoTR Light Cavalry to make Mounted Crossbowmen or whatever.
