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!

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
