I used to own a large Games Workshop Brettonian army, they were colourful and I put some real effort into painting them. Like other painting projects I rarely used them [once] and then realised I wouldnt use them so sold the lot. Even now it pains me to think how much time and effort I had put into the army and just how valuable it would be some ten years plus after I sold them. Anyway one of the figures I had always like was the very early Brettonian archers and with them being a generic figure I wanted some for my Wars of the Roses and Burgundian projects.
Yes they are an anachronism, yes they are well Games Workshoppy but I like them and they paint up well.
I couldnt help myself and added another Burgundian Pike unit to the army.This time the figures are historically correct.
Love the GW Bretonians,they've come out really well and I always like the Perry plastic pike blocks!

Iain I cant help myself using these old archer figures. The other infantry are better but the prices have become silly.
DeleteExcellent additions to your ever-growing project, Robbie!
ReplyDeleteIm now using you as inspiration Johnathan, the speed you get figures on the table is impressive.
