Baron's War bits and pieces

With the upcoming Border Reiver show in March I have a planned run through of the 4 player scenario at the club next week. I did a quick set up this week which gave me an idea of what else I needed for the game. The first thing was some extra trees and shrubs for the wooded areas. I set to work on more of the 3d printed trees from Thom, 6 more added to the collection to bring me up to 7. I also created 3 small bases to act as undergrowth in the woods.

The trees are quite substantial, but that does help reduce the number needed as they cover a good area. I/ve got 4 more that I need to start work on. The next items on the list were some gravestones for the churchyard and a couple of benches to give the village that lived in feel. The gravestones are from Debris of war and the benches were donated by Andy, I believe they are from Wargames Atlantic.

The gravestones are probably too late for this period, but they add a little character to the table. I also spent some time organising the 4 forces to be involved. Each force is around 600 points.

I did manage to get a few figures painted as well. A new Baron and his bannerman to command my Welsh forces. They are both from Footsore miniatures. The heraldry is loosely based on one of the shields from here Nobles of North Wales. I'm quite happy with the results. I also completed two more archers for my outlaws.

Hopefully I can get some more figures done as my output is well down at the start of the year, I've only done 7 so far, I normally aim for around 100 per month.
