The wonderful thing about wargamers.

One of the best things about being a wargamer is that you come into contact with some really nice people.Not all the time, but in the main wargamers are very friendly and also very generous. Over the years I can count on the fingers of one hand wargamers that I met and thought,'' dont like you mate''.

Anyway a week ago I received a parcel through the post and inside were a number [16] of painted Citidel pikemen. The figures were well painted and in one of my favourite poses. The figures had been sent by a fellow wargamer who was clearing! out some spare stuff and after reading my blog sent them to me to use. So I would like to thank, Jason Williams for his generosity and thoughtfulness. I hope I bump into him at some wargames show around the country, because I would like to reciprocate the gesture in some way. So as I was painting up my last French pike block, I thought what the hell do another unit,using Jason's wonderful figures. So the two photographs below are of the unit. I added a couple of halberd toting figures to give it a varied look. 

                                          I also completed my intended French pike unit,

                         A photograph of the two latest pike units together. I really like them.

I also managed to squeeze in a unit of Venetian mercenary archers. I dont think they fight to well, but they are a very nice Perry figure.

  A couple of Pro Gloria villagers were done to add some interest to the camp I hope to make soon.

 And finally I had a spare Front Rank knight, so I had to give him a Black Bande standard to carry.
 Pete from Pete's Flags, is also a very generous soul, he kindly created these banners after very little pestering, so well done to both wargamers you restored my faith in people.
