 :o :o :o :-*

Wonderful work on those Perry Agincourt miniatures, Jan. Superb painting and staging.

But honestly... How can you compete with THAT.
Alex, you have gone beyond Cecil B DeMille... What an incredible scene  :o

A beautiful scene, Jan, I love the freehands and the setting, very atmospheric!

Btw, many thanks to Michael (Hombre on LAF) who built these houses for me and did an amazing job on them!

Prof's entry straight out of 'The Good, The Bad & The Weird'.  Is the Prof competing for an additional award for the most figures displayed in one season of the League? Still haven't decided because Lt.Hazel's entry is also a bit special. Love the hand painted heraldry especially the Knight of the Roses(is he going to become the start of Lt.Hazel's Game of Thrones unit depicting the Florents and their supporters?)

Jesus Jones Alex! - you just keep getting better and better :o
The hand painted cloaks on the knights are also superb, its not at all easy to do something as clear and crisp as that - that takes quite some skill I think, well done

 Greetings
You know Alex, every time I see one of your entries I want to start gaming that period  lol

And what a lot of boxes did I buy just because of that reason. So true.

My,
both of you have magnificent entries. I wasn't a fan of Agincourt, but you sold me with those amazing (in my view) shields, with nicks and color. And I think its the first time I saw the wounded/killed mini on the far left.

Alex.... words fail me. If it isn't the minis its the setting, if it isn't the setting its the houses. If that isn't it either its probably the cheer incredible amount of eye candy in one picture. And, oh my, what a great photography with sharpness and everything.
I must be a masochist to see those pictures week after weeks  :P

Great job

Gobsmacked! Alex, I have most of the same miniatures (unpainted but there are a few I do not recognize. The chap with the pipe.strawhat, who makes him? It is great. The palanquin is new from Pulp, right? What about the squatting fellow at the top, with chopsticks?

The heraldry represents members of the minor prussian nobility supporting the Teutonic Order. It is a Tannenberg 1410 project, no GoT in my mind yet  :D
