Barons' War additions (14)


 Another week and another batch of troops join the Barons' War collection!

Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester. The Earl is a Footsore miniature, while the serjeant carrying his banner is from Crusader Miniatures

I was running low on Northstar metal spears and decided to try out the new plastic ones from Northstar, the banner bearer has the first of these! I'll be using a lot more plastic spears in the future.






This next piece is quite cool. I had a Serjeant with a torch from Footsore and wanted to have him lighting a signal beacon.

At the recent Britcon event in Leicester, James picked me up a brazier from Irongate Scenery a really cool piece with built in LED, perfect for the job!

I built up the plinth from a stack of 25mm bases and finished with stonework from the Willis Scenery range. Some dowel was cut up to represent chopped logs and stacked alongside the plinth 

Then because  I like to over complicate things I built a unlit fire, again from chopped dowel which can be replaced with the IGS LED flames when lit! 


The serjeant is painted to represent one of Gilbert de Clares' men.


I think this will be a very cool objective marker in our games.



Another five angry monks have also been added to the few painted last time. Again, all Footsore miniatures.




Another trio of archers and a couple of peasants. 



Lastly a few more shields for use as casualty markers were painted up.

Do I have more than enough Barons' War stuff? Yes. Will I keep adding more? Also yes!
