My bases finally arrived so I was able to quickly re-base the mounted knights and sergeants. Some of the sergeants were armed with the lance which was quickly changed to a variety of hand weapons to fit the game rules. Those lances were added to the knights. I also made a few amendments to the tabards and shields to stop them from looking uniformly.

| Sergeants |

| Knights |
With these done I then discovered a box of Conquest miniatures medieval knights. They will be perfect as mounted sergeants, though one rider is missing, still gives me another 9 mounted figures to complete. I've also put in a couple of orders to fill the gaps in the collection, namely some foot knights and crossbowmen from Footsore, peasants from Wargames atlantic and Sergeants from Footsore which will be equipped with the 2-handed glaive.
The collection so far. More than enough to start gaming. The rules will get a run out on Thursday night, keeping it small as we learn them. Already 3 other club members have committed to getting forces. Already have ideas for a map based campaign using the local Barons of Northumberland.
So far we have
Me - William de Vesci, Baron of Alnwick
Neil G - Richard Bertram, Baron of Bothal
Neil B - John de Lilburn, Constable of Dunstanborough
Mitch - Henry Delaval, Baron of Callerton
I'm hoping we may get another couple of players converted once they see the rules in action
You made quick work of this exercise.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy when most of the figures were already painted. Only about 25% are new, though that will increase shortly
DeleteGood looking result, have fun in the upcoming games. I may be looking at the same activity soon.
ReplyDeleteCheers, the rules seem a decent set, looking forward to trying them out
DeleteNice basing, and a nice collection, I like the idea of the campaign as well, you are off to a flyer with this one!
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie
DeleteWooow! Awesome collection!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal
DeleteGreat looking collection.
ReplyDeleteCheers Richard
DeleteA very cost and time effective way to get a new project up and running Scotty - look forward to seeing them on the table shortly.
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith, always a boon to get old figures back on the table
DeleteNicely done Neil ….certainly enough to start gaming !
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, certainly enough but always nice to add more
DeleteGood job getting these done so quickly. I have Baron's War and it seems like a good game overall. You have a nice collection. 😁
ReplyDeleteCheers Stew, rules get their first run out tonight
DeleteRebasing is such a horrible job, but the figures look great!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, for the first time I didn't mind the re-basing
