WotR´s Continental Mercenaries (RedBox)

A nice addition to the 1/72nd medieval world, especially the later part. This lot will make good recruits for my Burgundians, help fill the ranks of the Spearblock and add to the collection being prepared for a WotR´s army.
The two spearmen in the set, The spears they come with (attached) bear an uncanny resemblence to telegraph poles (the "as they come" pics at PSR) and they´ve been replaced with florists wire
Halbardiers (Billmen)
Three of the Halbardiers re-equipped with spears.

    "telegraph poles"! Yep, they are a bit off scale... :D

    Good work! They look good and per se, but I've to find if they fit in in Peninsular conflicts.

    I am not too happy with some of the Red Box kits as their quality seems unpredictable. Your figures look great. For my spears I use plastic broom bristles, I have to give the wire a try.

    perhaps I repeat myself, but it's amazing to see how these figures, sometimes not exceptional, in your hands turn and come to life!
