Medieval buildings and scenic scatter.

I've been progressing well with the Barons' War project and wanted to add to the terrain collection

The first piece is a 3D printed house ordered from the seller TCWminiatures3D on Etsy.

It's a lovely piece with bags of detail.

The interior is nicely detailed too.

The next piece is a market stall, also from TCWminiatures3D

I'd rate this one as "fair" it's massively over sized, that mug on the bar is about the size of a space marines torso!

Again, some nice, if large, interior detail.

Last up from TCWminiatures3D, I tagged a few accessories onto my order.

A rather nice fountain, I added some water effects.

I'm sure that the stair case will come in handy somewhere. The barrels were picked up at the FIASCO show last year, not sure of the trader.

I've already got quite a few Renedra pieces in the collection, but they do come out nicely, so I added some more. 

I do like to add vegetable patches to these builds, it makes them more lived in.

This is a wattle and daub outbuilding with wattle fences, the fence posts are made from satay skewers.

The last piece in this post is a vegetable patch using more Renedra wattle fencing. The gate is built from coffee stirrers.

Victoria stepped up to the mark when I said I'd like some model cabbages!

Barons' War additions(6)

Another productive week on the Barons' War collection with 20 new foot soldiers painted.

Five more spearmen to add to existing units

I always seem to be needing more crossbowmen so another seven were added.

There is only one loose quiver per sprue so I did some creative solutions with the "hand on quiver" arms, trimming off the hand and arm and either leaving an empty quiver, or covering with a bedroll.

These two archers will also slot into existing units.

A Knight and a pair of Serjeants.

The Knight is an example of using a simple VVV shield decal as part of the basecoat and then adding a couple of highlights at a later stage.

Lastly trio of three more foot Serjeants.

It's a petty good shot of the arrow through the shield, these spare arrows from the Peasants set are really useful for this.

Barons' War additions(5)

A couple more units of 13th Century foot knights.

The figures are from the Wargames Atlantic box, but many heads and arms are swapped out from other sets like the Foot Serjeants and Mounted Knights.

Standards, shield and livery are all hand painted in this batch.

I do seem to have overdone it with ziggy-zaggy shield designs this time, but they will all blend in with the units when these are merged with the rest of the collection.

Several of the Knights have livery surcoats but quite a few are just done in plain surcoats with embroidered designs. 

I've really been enjoying painting the figures for this collection, but having blasted past the 500 figure mark I should probably not be painting any more, but I do have another forty or so ready and  have you seen the imminent new sets...

 

Barons' War additions (4)

I've built the box of Wargames Atlantic Peasants that were left under the tree last month and got a fair amount of them painted.

A bunch of archers, half of them are done as levy, but three were assembled from the Peasants set but with helmets from the Serjeants set to fill out a unit of Serjeants with bows in the collection.

That model on the right has lost his arrow tip, I think it's a moulding problem as most of this pose do not survive the first battle, this one broke while still on the painting table!

A trio of levy slingers, again to pad out existing units. 

These seven are assembled as levy spearmen, painted using drab colours

I had some spare Reconquer Designs drunkards left over, so I painted up. These can be used as table dressing in our games, or pad out units if I'm short a few figures.

Finally, I've added a leader for the Militia, in Midgard I base the level 1 champions on 30mm bases, this chap with his battered sword and helmet can be a minor leader of the levy.

 These militia and levy will pad out or Rebel left flank in an upcoming Battle of Lewes game.
