Scots, part 5

Finally, some finished figures! Two elements of Islemen, and one element of Scots schiltron:

These fellows put the Scots army at 20% complete (roughly). I have two more elements of Islemen waiting along with some more schiltron, then a lot of schiltron, some bow, skirmishers, and dismounted knights to order, and several commander/hero types to fill in the gaps. Then, after that I need their English opponent...

Slowly but surely, this project is coming together.

Scots, part 1

Purchased these some time ago, but only now just getting around to the pics:

Scots, or more specifically Islemen, from Claymore Castings. Here are a few more:

The fellow on the right of the bottom pic is a standard bearer, and he is holding a length of brass tubing that I glued in.

I am a little worried about the axes that they are wielding, as they are a bit thin and the pose is energetic. Wonderful figures despite that. I have others, but they had been primed black already and black primed figures just do not photograph well.

Return to an old project?

Not much painting time here lately, just moving things around in an attempt to re-organize.

Here is a pic of the table:

The fantasy humans have been re-primed with a thin coat of gesso, and the square bases have been removed. Unfortunately for the rest - and many other miniatures that are waiting off-stage - my stash of round slotta bases is very small, so they will need to wait for a while before getting based up again.

The Huaxtec continue to get some tattoo work, and in the rear rank one can see my Eagle warriors. Eagle and Jaguar societies were not limited to just the Aztecs, so my Eureka Eagles have been transferred to the Huaxtec. I am intending to make the core of my Aztec force around Foundry figures, but that is some time in the future.

And, in the foreground, are a couple of bags of miniatures that had been stored away for some time, and are going to make a comeback. One can just read the business card in the photo from Claymore Castings, and the bags contain some of their excellent 14th century English and Scots. As my wife is interested in her Scottish heritage, I will likely bring this dormant project back to the fore in the upcoming weeks.

Foot troops, part 1

Another set of pics on some of my first purchases:

OT05 Scots Spear

OT19 Billmen

All of these are from Claymore Castings. It would not be too much of a stretch to interchange these miniatures, to add variety to your units.

The first pics...

And now for some real content:

OT01 Command

This is the first set of command types from Claymore, usable by the Scots and English forces. One shield, pictured at right, is included in this set.

WP01 Weapon Pack 1

And, for more variety, Claymore offers a Weapons Pack with more bills and shields.
