MikeW: More Elizabethans and Border Ruffians

So my rate of output since the regular challenge has dropped hugely, partly due to using the regular challenge to push through my lead & plastic mountains has left me 'painted out' but also because I'm running a club campaign via eMail and that's taking up a lot of my time at present.

So I finally got the next group of my Elizabethans / Border Ruffians completed.

Auld Walt's Henchmen

The group of six foot figures are the Hoka Hey 'Auld Walt' and his family gang, they are a pleasure to paint and as with the Armstrong family I have designated two of them to be leaders and the other four to be their closest henchmen

So 'Auld Walt' is the grey haired guy in these two photo's and not having much imagination, I'll go with his companion being his son, 'Young Walt'

The mounting figures are three mounted senior officers or government officials, these are from Casting Room Miniatures if I remember correctly and are offered as Generals.

Again these figures were fun to paint, lots of horse flesh which I enjoy and then a good mix of armour types, sashes and leather attire.

Officers form the front
And from the rear!
Next up a job lot of Border horse, without riders! I plan to use horses from an old Perry's plastic WoR Mounted Men-at-Arms set to mount the majority of these.

  4. Great looking rufflenecks, Mike! I quite like the irascible Old Walt. He doesn't look like he puts up with much guff.

  5. Lovely work. Your group of ne'er-do-wells look like grizzled old troublemakers.
