Perry 28mm Medievals

Wonderfull bods these...I really like the look of  them...the fun bit being the multi-parts allowing seemingly endless combinatios of heads, arms and weapons. I haven´t decided yet how I´m going to base them yet.

They are all suitably dressed and equiped for the WotR period...but I won´t paint them up in any of the liveries used at the time for a couple of rasons. I like the look of "generic" medieval armies...the possible mix of colours and styles...this will also allow me to add bods from other manufacturers and I got away from painting ancients becuase of the "uniformity"...particually the romans...although I love the look of a full legion..

.

Georgi and the dragon

Georgi??? Well they are Russian peasants....;-D  Figures by Alex

It was a sunny day...and Georgi got into the spirit of it all.....

....but when he got home.......

....he would have to explain it all to the  "dragon" :-D

"oh no....not again...what do I say?"

"NO excuses!!!! This time he´s going to get it!!"

Burgundian Heavy infantry

This lot are miniart Italian knights  and a couple of miniart German Knights.

The whole army so far

BUF Bandsmen

Or they could be marine bandsmen, Created from the Airfix Guards Band and WWI British Infantry 

Two Towers

Both these little 1/72nd scale master pieces are from Fredericus - rex who are now the main suppliers of Valdemar bods.

wi

The wall, stairs,  tower etc are all seperate pieces

OUCH!!!

Poor Percival has sprained his knee :-D Bods from Valdemar

Hello to Michael from Angel Barracks He sells 6mm bods, buildings, nags...everything.  I have a lot of respect for those in the hobby that paint 6mm and I can highly recommend going and having a look at this site. The houses!!!!! The "snake fence"!!!!! The chuckwagon..which comes in 3 parts!!!! Incredible!!

Carpentum (odemars)

Carpentum!? What the heck is that? A wagon basically,,The PSR review answers it better than I can, so I´ll stop the scribbling and put up the pics

The roof supplied was way to fiddly and small so I made my own from guess what?? Green floor insulation with some braided copper wire around the edge :-D

The very first and the very last time I "dipped" anything in any sort of clever and expensive shader. The nags look too glossy and no...I won´t use dullcoat. It´s a reminder for myself to either paint properly the first time or not at all.

OOPS!! Watch out...it looks as if mother in law´s come for the ride !!

Hello to Kevin Howroyd. Kevin  paints and games in a range of scales and periods. His Jacobites are lovely!!! He even has his own games room..the lucky ***** :-D
Oh...sorry,  his blog...Kevs Wargames Cabin

Medieval Baggage (2)

Another bit of the baggage train fnished :-D Makes involved?? Bods, Zvezda, Minart, Redbox, Airfix, Orion and Strelets. Mules...Airfix, Atlantic (Nexus) Artminiaturen. Oxen, Finescale facotry. Dog...Airfix.

Cart with tents (?)

Mule train

The whole lot so far :-D

A couple more wagons... ( a medicus one etc ), an oxen team for pulling heavy equipment and some civilian carts and it will be finished

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

Hello to Jay from Jay´s Miniature Enterprises.....Jay´s just started out in the blogging world, but he already has a follower ;-D
Hello to Prufrock. He lives and teaches english in japan and has got a great blog, Here´s no great matter,  dealing with ancient wargames and minis...and some of the armies are HUGE! He´s at the moment rebasing 380 marian romans!!

Stonecircle

Another type of religious structure instead of the church...

The stone in the middle can be removed and replaced with a fire......

.....which lights up !! :-D

Smurf Warrior (Strelets Dacian heavy Infantry)

By any standard this is...or rather was, a pretty dreadfull set. The PSR review rated them quite badly.
To be fair...Strelets took notice of the outcry (rumour is that the sculptor is now seeking new emploment) and they retooled the set and it  here is what it looks like now.A massive improvement!!
I bought this and the Dacian light infantry (also now retooled as can be seen here) before the PSR review and when I opened the boxes I didn´t know wether to laugh or cry. It will probably  end up as a collectors item.

"Now where´s that Gargamel !??"

Hello to Mark. Mark´s a busy bloke...5 blogs!! One of his blogs that i follow, Winter of ´79 is a great site dealing with 20mm wargaming in an alternative Thatchers britian..loads of period info, with tongue in cheek historical references  and his latest post, TAOR: Borsetshire in review (R4, the Archers) is typical, giving a real flavour of the 70´s. Who remembers those dried out Garibaldi biccies or that evil Chicken supreme in the ration packs ? :-D

Medieval Family (Valdemar)

By the looks of things a well off family.Bods from various Valdemar sets. "Chappie"  from Pegasus

The faithfull family dog "Chappie"

This one I´ve nicknamed "Button"  The way she´s holding her dads finger!!!!!!!

Hello to Spencer from Flip of the coyne  Interesting blog with some polotics and Urban farming . The front page has a great pic ...some of the dark stuff...cheers!  :-D
