A Question of Peasants...

I'm starting to think about the future: second daughter's going to school, the twins start preschool in the autumn and Colours on the horizon!  :D

Obviously I don't have enough projects on the back-burner at the moment, so to fill this void I have a couple of ideas for Hordes of the Things armies, one of which is centred around a peasant crusade theme.

Anyway, searching for "peasant" on the Pendraken site brings up a few of suitable codes, with EC8, ELM14 (and possibly ELM33) looking perfect.  There's also the monks of ELM37.

I've also seen LA13, but they look very static compared to the others. 

So question for the audience, any other codes that might fit the bill.

Cheers,

How about some of the Beggar codes? Men, women and children and even some mule-riding cavalry.

You may or may not find a use for the gargoyles and pied piper!

Good call there  :-bd 

They'd slipped my mind although I have my eye on them for "generic fantasy humans" for one of my other projects  ;)

The Mongolian 'camp followers' and 'citizens' might end up being useful for something similar to the above Meirion.
I'll send Leon some pics in the next day or so. ;)

Leon

They'll all be fine, plus the Beggars as mentioned above.  I wouldn't bother with the old LA13 code, as they're not really up to the standard of the newer sculpts.  You could possibly use the newer version of those figures, which is the scythemen in the LoA range?

Possibly Phil. A delegation from our Eastern Brothers would always be welcome ;)

Apropos absolutely nothing, except for a tenuous avian connection, my favourite dictionary definition (yes, I have one) is "Kakapo. A large, almost flightless owl-like parrot from New Zealand."
