Latest Painting Task
For the last 7 days I have been trying to knock holes in the vast amount of unpainted metal that I have accumulated over the last 30 years. I thought I had finished off the very last figures suitable for morphing into another army as well as a totally new army. Needless to say I was wrong as I realised I still have lots of Feudal spear, pikemen and other foot suitable for use for the Normans onwards.
Paul at the club asked me to paint up an odd figure to match two he already had and base all three up for use as a Hobilar element Irr Cv O. My figure is nearest the camera.

Below is the figures I have just finished including finally completing the very last elements for my Mamluk army.
 |
| Essex CRU51 Naffertun Handgunner |
 |
| Minifigs Z310 13th C Crossbowmen Unarmoured |
 |
| Essex NA16 Norman Archers |
 |
| Essex Norman Milites painted as Military Orders Generals |
 |
| Minifigs ZC365 Turcopoles with replacement steel lances |
 |
| Essex Mid 34/35 mixed Feudal foot |
 |
| Essex unknown figure code Feudal Spearmen |
Having found a big bag of MID 75 Lowland Pikemen I decided that I should paint up the seven pike blocks they can create. I also have some old Gladiator Spearmen which I replaced the spears with pikes to create another two blockswhich need to be painted. These should give me the core of a Low Countries army, 13 blocks in all, in due course. I also have a load of later Minifigs pikemen which I purchased to do a Burgundian Army to paint up which will give me an additional 11 pike blocks. I think this army will never happen as I decided I didnt want it after buying the metal from Minifigs to create most of the old DBM list.

Nice, I like the Feudal Spearmen a lot...
ReplyDeleteCould not trace their figure code. Think they are probably just from random figure codes I sorted out to create similar element groups. They are perfect for the rear ranks of Irr Sp I that I also painted up with this batch. Will then double up as Irr Hd too :/)
