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 40000 Sisters of Battle build and paint project

I have not played 40k since the mid 00's, but a couple of months ago I really enjoyed a game of Combat Patrol (40k light with fixed forces). It would have been easy to go Nids (which I have played in campaigns) or Marines, or revert to Tau or Grey Knights, my two previous forces, but I decided to try something different. Very different. Which has been tempting me for a while and always fascinated me as a design concept. Sisters of Battle or Adeptus Soritas. Nuns with guns. Utter loony loyalists with religous fervour, armour, guns, iconography and fanatical devotion to The Pope The Emperor! So, over the next (insert indeterminate) period of time, I will be building, painting and posting about the Adeptus Soritas Combat Patrol.    Soritas Unit Sisters of Battle Research 7/10, Build 6/10, Paint 8/10,  Fun 9/10 I stayed away from the GW suggested red and black scheme, and went with something more fun, purple and gold. A lot ...

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...
