Medieval Levy 2 ( Strelets )

This and Medieval Levy ( 1 ) from Strelets are nice little sets. The spears are not joined to the sprue 3 - 4 times, an error which has put me off buying strelets sets. IMHO, they would mix well with the Scottish Schiltron from Strelets...all three sets being good examples of generic lower orders of hired rank and file.
They have that classic "stumpy" strelets look, which for a bunch medieval thugish commoners is great :-D

    I've been painting this set as well. I can't say I'm a fan of Strelets but they don't look too bad en masse - I replaced the crummy plastic spears with wire and binned the guy with the stripy jumper and saucepan on his head.

    Yours look great!

    Thanks :-D
    @Alex...the guy with the stripey jumper has got a very good representation of buttoned sleeves...maybe the only one in 1/72nd scale that I know of. I might replace his head and re-arm him with a Halberd.
    Cheers

    Don't know if they would mix too well with a Scots Schiltron Paul, they look far too neat and tidy to mix with us rowdy Scots!!

    Yes, nice figures, just a shame about the spears/pikes, but replacement is not too difficult.

    Cannon fodder (as Paul said) of the Middle ages!!
    A lot of work for the charging knights!
    Nicely painted figures Paul! :-)

    Well done, I particularly like the padded armor on the figure on the back rank.
