Quote from: Last Hussar on 20 January 2025, 03:53:56 PMI only find out about "Louis the Lion" last year, and wondered if it might be a Wiki mischief edit. Had a quick search today, and found a number of sites about him - He besieged Berkhamsted castle - just down the road from me!

Why isn't he more prominent in teaching etc about John/Baron's War?

Probably because nothing between 1066 and the industrial revolution is taught in schools?

Very good      !

Louis the Lion

I feel a force for Lion Rampant coming on

Quote from: Villev on 20 January 2025, 08:13:05 PMA quick question on this: Are the Raiden aircraft models or Battlescale buildings allowed as entries, or only Pendraken figures?

Only Pendraken models unfortunately, so not Battlescale, Raiden, etc.

I thought of Lenny too!
Waddya mean 'dummy'!?

I'm afraid the name Louis the Lion makes me think of a TV character from the early 1960s called Lenny the Lion; he was a ventriloquist's dummy.

That's a lot of horses! Good stuff.


The sabot base for the commanders is an interesting idea. 

QuoteNice but a bit too weird for me. - Not sure that as a wargamer with fantasy miniatures that's a valid statement.

I glet what you mean - I like OoTS as a comic, but the figures are a bit odd. 

I do think that for fantasy, we all have a range of what is acceptable, I bit back I saw some WWII tanks done in Sci Fi style multi-colour camo schemes, and it was very jarring (for no good reason)
