With the announcement of an upcoming supplement for Baron's War, King John, I decided I wanted to make a start on a new retinue, Outlaws, which will feature in the new book. Now for this period the stand out outlaw of course is Robin Hood, luckily Footsore miniatures produce a model for Robin and a number of his companions which I have picked up to lead the retinue.
The model for Robin has him firing his bow, quite an appropriate pose for the legendary outlaw. For colours I deliberately went for woodland colours, in keeping with Sherwood forest.
The second model I did was for the Maid Marion. I like the pose of this figure, holding her own bow. I went for muted colours which turned out pretty much how I envisaged her.

| Robin and Marion |
I've got the figures for Friar Tuck, Little John and Will Scarlett already undercoated. I hope to make some progress on these over the coming weeks in between some Punic War figures.
Good start, for sure!

DeleteNice I have a few Robin Hood figures somewhere in the lead mountain but not had a reason to paint them yet ?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find a reason to paint them up
DeleteGreat stuff Scotty, who else WOULD you paint up for a medieval war band?!
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith, may have to do King John and the Sheriff
DeleteThe only outlaw and his band to do! Lovely work Neil, the colours you went with work really well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie
DeleteNicely done, Neil.
ReplyDeleteThank you Richard
DeleteCracking been wanting to do Robin Hood since forever also to use the old Avalon Hill Robin Hood board game as campaign setting for said games...
ReplyDeleteCheers, never thought of using the board game for a campaign
DeleteGreat idea for a Baron's War faction! I love the Marion figure with the blade...
ReplyDeleteCheers Mike, hopefully fill them out to about 500 points
