Medieval Scots - A replacement army - second set of three spear units added

I  have, after much soul searching (no I could not find mine either), decided that I really should stretch my Pictish spearmen a whole 1000 years. 300ish to 1300 ish, so really stretching the whole Pict-morph-thing now. So 10mm to replace the fallen over the winter, this will be fun (18 months later, and summer is on the way and I finally started them)
This means a restart and finish with my Scots army back where I started with them for DBM, a successful army, but before MeG came out I had not touched them in 10 years, then I sold my 15mm version of them in 2014 (and then were instantly stolen from my late friend's car). 
So, back to the 1300s version.
1315 to be exact.

A project I've been putting off for years, but now I have started the Medieval Scots spearmen from c.1315 with Pendraken figures and flags.
Got this lot finished just in time for this weekend's MeG tournement.
More Scots spears and the generals


Another 25 bases of spears (249 figures, and 8 general types)


A unit


Back base doing a wheelie!


Back view, lots of beige from the yeomanry


Mixed unit of Bruce, Douglas and all the spares


Scots much!


Heather added too


This unit is mostly highland & islands figures


Are they hedgehogs, tortoises or..?


Get 'em lads!


Amazing how much variety you can have with two figures


Generals


Lots together!


Bonus points if you can name them!


Do like the poses here


I also went back and added heather to all the other bases.

First three units or 35 bases or 350 figures.


There's another couple of hundred figures to add


Top view


Shields are mostly hand painted with a few VVVV transfers


My view


Its a LOT of spears!
 
Medieval spears ordered from Leon are are now waiting to go, in the meantime, the worst wargaming sin, painting the general before the army!

Mounted version, wonder where Footsore got the idea for this pose from!


Hopefully our Scottish members will forgive my poor free-hand heraldry on him. Think I might go back and black outline the lions and reins


Do like him




Dismounted The Bruce.


28mm foot version from Footsore, loved the animation, and he will make a suitable 'Legandary general' with 10mm troops I feel!  Evil


Watch that axe, it's sharp!

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   A 1983 Grenadier warrior, and a 1985 McDeath Highlander, both from my brilliannt neighbour Brian in his random assortment of stuff. Yes, the camera is knackered... Top view, one for Frostgae period, the other to join my ECW Scots Blurry When the back view is the least blurred...
