Shakespearean HYW includes Joan of Arc, of course....

True, but about 15 years after Agincourt which I've decided to centre my armies about

[hammurabi70]

With my Punic War project rapidly approaching completion I'm starting to do some painting research for my next project the Hundred Years War

I've order enough figures for 8 DBA armies
    IV/16 Scotland
    IV/57 Low Countries
    IV/62 100 Years War English (2)
    IV/64 Medieval French (2)
    IV/74 Free Company & Armagnac
    IV/76 Early Burgundian

I'd be very interested if anyone can point me at online resources for painting these forces, particularly livery colours for the more 'common' soldiers

Interesting.  How many figures on a base are you planning to have, or did you have for the Punic Wars.  My 6mm Punic Wars are doubled numbers of 6mm on a 15mm base. 

[paulr]

I'm using the same number of mounted figures, except I use 4 Knights rather than 3 to differentiate from cavalry more clearly

I use twice the number of foot figures, basically two ranks rather than one, slightly less for hoard only 7 or 9 figures

When I did 6mm I used four times the figures for foot and three or four times as many mounted

All based for 15mm, i.e. 40mm wide bases for DBA I use 20mm deep for most foot, 30mm deep for mounted and 40mm deep for artillery, elephants and hordes

Looks like a world tour 

[Techno]

Next time, put on the rocketpants, and junior birdman all the way to Middlesbrough.

Cheers - Cat.

Given where I live that's a fairly direct route, although they did have to fly 'past' New Zealand to get to Sydney

Progress was looking pretty good earlier today

Got some research done on the French, I need more Knights than mentioned by Shakespeare

[mmcv]

They did love their knights. I hear they make excellent pincushions.

[Techno]

Is that a euphemism ? 

I might have to keep an eye on this thread.

Cheers - Phil

[mmcv]

No euphemisms, just a comment on the effect of massed longbowmen on charging knights.

I did consider a few knight puns... But it's a bit too warm to be getting a coat. 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

But it's a bit too warm to be getting a coat. 

Thought that was a knightly occurance for you

[Techno]

That's two coats put aside for Nobby to chew, then.
