Barons' War additions (15)


I'm still working my way through the Barons'' War lead mountain/pile of potential although the pickings are now a lot slimmer, there are some lovely models available.

All the bases are from Warbases, their 70x40 vehicle bases work rather well for larger command groups, while for the figure bases I use 2mm thick circular with magnet holes

A command stand to represent a mounted King Henry III in our 2nd Barons' War games.

The King figure is King John from Footsore, but I think does credible double duty as his son!




The three lions passant decals are again from Footsore. But I really don't like them, way too thin, too little pigment and I practically only use them for the geometry and end up over painting them anyways as they are so bad.




Another command stand representing a Bishop, this one is the Footsore Stephen Langton painted as such, but not a character in the 2nd Barons' War so will likely just be used as a vignette rather than a character.


The bannerman is another Crusader Miniatures one and the banner pole a Northstar spear.


The original figures cross had broken off, so I replaced with the falconry hand from the Wargames Atlantic Mounted Knight Command set and I think it's a nice addition.



This Footsore foot knight is painted to represent Peter de Moutfort, a close ally, but not a relation of Simon de Montfort. He was slain at the Battle of Evesham.


The bannerman is another Crusader Miniatures one and the banner pole a Northstar spear.


Robin Hood and the Maid Marion, both from Footsore. Robin is on a 30mm base that will allow me to use him as a Champion in our Midgard games, Marion is on the standard 20mm base that I use for foot rank and file.




Four more filthy peasants with spears. One appears to have ideas above is station and has a livery jacket!




Another anget monk and a townsman with club.




I've painted these six to use as random characters and townsfolk during our games.


The Catweazle figure would make a rather splendid hermit or village idiot.
The guy gesturing with open hand a village elder or market store holder.
The third makes a rather nice pilgrim.
The William Marshall figure, an older knight or lord giving counsel. 
Peasant woman feeding the chooks.
Noble lady organizing the militia to defend a breech!


Lastly a vignette of a peasant threshing the wheat, the wattle fences are from Renedra.
