Following on from the men at arms I posted last week, this week I am adding the archers. In Art de la Guerre you can have up to eight bases of "retinue" longbowmen and four bases of "Northern Border/Militia" longbowmen. Of course, despite the fact that it is highly unlikely that I will ever be able to field twelve bases in one army, I had to paint enough for all twelve bases.
The figures are all Perry plastics.
Retinue Archers:
I should point out that I'm not basing the livery on any particular historical retinues...
Northern border/Militia Archers:
I think seventy-two 28mm foot figures painted and based in just over a week isn't too bad going.
Next up will be the billmen.
Lovely archers of both kinds! One of my favourite Perry boxes and you've done a really nice job on them!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cracking along nicely !
ReplyDeleteThose are outstanding! Great job..
ReplyDeleteWhat a smashingly large and lovely bunch of figures, great weeks work 👍
ReplyDeleteIt’s not only that you’ve churned out seventy two figures in a week. It’s that they’re painted to a terrific standard too! Five star!
ReplyDeleteYour output and skill with a brush are both astonishing. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNice job, the coloured coats work really well on them.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work, Tamsin, both quality and quantity. But for some reason Blogger is only showing me the first of your pix.
ReplyDelete@ Iain - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ DaveD - cheers! :)

@ Mike V - thanks! :)
@ Stuart - cheers! :)
@ Jamie - thanks! :)
@ Noel - cheers! Hmm, not sure what was up there. I've deleted and re-added the pics and it seems to have fixed it. :)
Lovely work Tamsin! Looks like you're ready to put down some arrowstorms.
ReplyDeleteThanks! "Archers...loose!" :)
DeleteLovely work Tamsin. The woman with every Russian SYW regiment needs every possible unit of archers.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, indeed! Thanks! :)
DeleteNo matter if you'll eventually field them all in a game or not, they look absolutely great in their respective liveries.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick! :)
DeleteThese look great, Your output remains staggering
ReplyDeleteIan
Cheers! :)
DeleteI've just been re-watching Follet's Pillars of the Earth and World's End, these could have walked right out of said history! Awesomeness Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteFantastic stuff Tamsin. And I totally sympathize with the whole "while it is unlikely..." train of thought...best to have every troop deployment eventuality covered off, just in case! You know that if you didn't, at the very first chance, you would need them for some reason...
ReplyDeleteLate post but great to see these - have to admit that is the way to field figures for the battlefield none of these skimpy units with 5 bowmen on ..........
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
Very impressive, Tamsin!
ReplyDelete@ Greg - thanks! You're absolutely right - best to be prepared and have everything that might be needed! :)
ReplyDelete@ Jez - cheers! :)
@ Barks - thanks! :)
Quality and quantity, what's not to like? They look great and your productivity is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh My! These are really nice!
