Men-at-arms and billmen for Lion Rampant

I finished a batch of foot knights and bills/halbardiers for the next game of Lion Rampant. These guys fill out a 36 point warband of free company troops. The figs are from Old Glory and are really very good.

Hobilars

Here are 10 hobilars with longbows from the Old Glory War of the Roses range, I did these with Lion Rampant in mind to fight my Scots, but they could also be pressed into service in the HYW project that had been in planning for some time. Nice figs - one of Old Glory's better ranges.

Angry Scots

Here we have a horde of angry Scottish medieval spearmen. 36 in fact, enough for 3 yeoman spear units for Lion Rampant to face Eddie Longshanks. Figs are mostly Old Glory 25/28s. I like them - lots of character. Even tried my hand at a few bits of tartan.

Knight for Lion Rampant

Here are two groups of 25mm knights for a Lion Rampant crusades game I will be hosting this week. The first group are in a red/yellow livery followed by a group of mixed livery. The figs are 25mm Old Glory - not bad, lots of animation as one would expect.

Byzantine cavalry for Saga

To make up the balance of my 6 point Byzantine warband for Saga here are the hearthguard Kavallroi - a double size unit of lancers and a supporting unit of archers. Lancers are Old Glory cataphracts and the archers are Foundry Late Romans. LBM buckler transfers.

Byzantines for Saga

Last week I picked up the Saga supplement that covers the Byzantines, and this inspired me to dig out a mixed bag of Old Glory Byzantines I picked up in a lot on TMP a year or two ago. These are two units of warriors - one with bow. A feature of the Byzantine side in Saga is their ability to do combined arms things such as shooting over friendlies and supporting one unit with another located behind. I strayed from my usual colour palette here with a bold bright orange theme.

Crusaders and camps

I painted a bag of 25mm Old Glory knights in Hospitaller outfits to make a start on a Crusader project that will likely simmer for the next year or so. Solid usable figures, I know the helmets are not exactly right for Hospitallers but I reckon there was a lot more variety (family heirlooms, etc) than we see in the few depictions.

And I also painted two 15mm DBA camps with large numbers of harlots, Old Glory again.

Pompey's Legions

Here are some more 10mm Romans, this time we have Marian legionnaires in lorica squamata and some archers. I use the red shields to designate these as heavy or veteran infantry for CCA, blue shields will be medium, and I use some green in the archers, slingers and javelinmen to designate them as lights.

10mm Auxilia

Some more 10mm Romans as I work towards a couple of Civil War CCA scenarios between Julius Caesar and Pompey.

10mm Romans

Here we have the first few cohorts of 10mm Romans that I've picked away at over the last couple of weeks. They are very easy to paint and look good en masse- I decided to base them on 60mm frontage for DBA, but also decided to work up a couple of CCA Civil War scenarios pitting Pompey versus Caesar. In doing so I will end up with a Late Imperial DBA army and a Marian Roman army - using one for Pompey and the other for Caesar.

8 bases of legion (160 figs!) and one of cavalry

Can't decide whether to go with thick or thin bases...

Medium cavalry - they might look good with shield transfers.

North Africans and Military Order Spanish for El Cid

Getting close to finishing the El Cid project for WAB. Figures are all Old Glory, here are some North African skirmishers, zebra pattern shields:

Knights of the Order of Santiago, founded in 1170, with crossbow-armed retainers:

I have just a few peones and jinetes left to finish.
