After the tank fest of the main Challenge I was always going to go off at a tangent once it was over. There are still the German 28mm vehicles to do and my 15mm Kursk project to attack but for now it was off the heavy metal and onto the Medieval plastic.
Those familiar with the output from Yarkshire Gamer will be aware of the Crusades Project it's had a couple of false starts but I keep chipping away at the edges of it now and again. I've got plenty of stuff prepped which if I remember correctly I did for Challenge VIII a couple of years ago.
So here we have a unit of 24 Crossbow, the figures coming from the Fireforge Foot Sergeants box, the flag from Flags of War and the shield decals from Battle Flag. We have played a few games with the Deus Vult rules and we are slowly getting used to them, with the inevitable Yarkshire Gamer house rules.
Although it's not a points based challenge I thought I would keep my own personal score so 24 figures at 5 pts each is 120 plus 1 for the flag, 121 towards my personal challenge.
Coming up in the next few weeks will be more Crusades, a large Italian Wars village (ok it's a town), some 7TV figures and if your lucky more Tanks and Italian Wars stuff. Stay safe out there.
Lovely looking crossbow men Ken. Looking forward to more from this project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete, expect a Kingdom of Jerusalem theme 😉
DeleteSounds doomed but lovely. Also sounds like you’ll be smiting Phillistines
DeleteGreat looking crossbow men! Looking forward to your Italian wars town too ( must try and get some more Italian wars stuff done too!)
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Many thanks Iain, it's a big town 👍
DeleteNice work, as always, Ken. Like Iain, I'm keen to see your Italian wars town, too, as I've started my own, and am certain you'll have a great take on it.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Noel, definitely coming soon 👍
DeleteThese look really great, but I do hope that we get lucky and will see more of your Italian Wars stuff!
ReplyDeleteThere will be some soon 👍
DeleteGreat work, very much look forward to seeing what you do with the buildings you’re working on
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon, hope to have them done by the weekend 👍
DeleteNice looking crossbowmen. The uniform colour scheme, shields and banner go together really well.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Stuart, a reoccurring theme hopefully over the coming weeks 👍
DeleteThey look really good; love the colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks 👍
DeleteVery nice unit Ken! Fireforge give really dynamic poses to their figures.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mike 👍
DeleteLovely work Ken. You've really made these figures pop.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Curt 👍
DeleteReally cool stuff Ken - I just love the Crusades, and have always been tantalized at the idea of gaming it on the table. I've only just managed to dabble with in using SAGA...oh wow, these are neat.
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg, it's a long time project of mine which keeps stalling, hopefully get things moving off the back of this lot.
DeleteSome brilliant looking medieval characters mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander 👍
