Perry 28mm WotR Infantry

First couple of bases worth finished. Very pleasurable to paint too.

Like painting fantasy figures, no need to slavishly follow uniform conventions. This base represents a unit of Levies for Bloody Barons. One Captain (armoured knight), 3 fighting men (front rank of pole arms) and 4 bows (rear rank of archers).

All based on 2p coins and held as a unit in Products for a Wargamers' movement tray.

Those figures who are primarily dressed in armour were primed with Army Painter Plate armour spray. These figures were very quick to paint so I think my next boxed set will be WR50 the Foot Knights.

RFCM Bloody Barons

Always fancied some Medieval figures from Perry Miniatures, and having read on line that some people play Bloody Barons with 28mm figures I thought I'd buy a box and see what they look like.

I also bought some movement trays to create units.

I got these from Products for wargames, 10p per hole!!

I chose the Wars of the Roses infantry set....40 figure that can produce a mix of fully armoured Knights,  men at arms and archers. The convention for BB at 28mm is one figure equals one base. Therefore there's enough figures to make 5 units of 8 bases. 

These equated to two units of Levys, two of Retinue and one Household. I reckon three boxes would give you two armies...not bad really.

These were a bargain at the show, only £18. Mounted on two pence pieces, I'm hoping they will double up for Lion Rampant games too.

Annoyingly the weathers too bad to get them primed.......oh well.
