Hundred Years War - DBA

...And good to see some of these figures - I particularly like the crossbow men in the kettle helms.

Those crossbow are from the TB range TB-168, I wanted to differentiate between the Burgundian and Low Countries crossbowmen.

Ta. That explains why I don't recognise them. I own loads if the TB Islamic figures but tend to forget about the European ones for some reason.

Very envious of how your able to pick a period and stick to it through to completion! Lovely painting too, your punic wars made my mind up to try 10mm!

Being on the other side of the world (NZ) from most of the manufacturers and other temptations helps

I also try and do projects of a 'reasonable' size

I'm glad to have helped you find 'the one true scale'

One horse in the second batch base coated and dry brushed

Armour base coated and dry brushed

Both ELM5 Retinue longbow poses look to be carrying a buckler sized shield, I assume these would be made of iron
Were they perhaps painted or covered by leather, one of the poses has the shield against the figures mailed back which will not give very much contrast

[Ithoriel]

Leather and steel maybe, for the buckler?

[FierceKitty]

I understood that a cloth bag rather than a quiver was the norm; or is my source out of date?

[paulr]

Leather and steel maybe, for the buckler?

That will look much better, thanks Ithoriel
