Having just recently cleared the tabletop in readiness for setting up the next WW1 Palestine campaign game, there was an opportunity to get all the medieval units onto the table for a parade.

| A unit is represented by two bases. |
Pretty much all the miniatures, bar a few exceptions, are by MiniFigs. Half were purchased some 40 years ago and the remainder second-hand figures which were stripped and painted added over the last couple of years.
All the figures are block painted and their dress, livery and colour choices are all generic, picked at the time of painting.
A couple of tents were added to represent camps or objectives.
The castle keep and ship were used in a campaign a few years back in 2017 which was based upon a chapter in "War Game Campaigns" by Donald Featherstone (see here).
Wow!
ReplyDeleteI was slightly surprised by the number I had painted.
DeleteWhat a fine collection, you'll get some grand looking battles with them.
ReplyDeleteJust completed a quick game this week, very enjoyable.
DeleteExcellent Collection Peter- well done indeed- something really special about 25mm Minifigs- so appealing! Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteMinifigs are fun to paint without being fussy figures.
DeleteNice, I like 2 base units. Is there another medieval campaign in the air 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks. There will be a campaign after I complete the current WW1 and get my Samurai campaign going.
DeletePeter! What an impressive display of figures. We can lose perspective on the size of an army as it grows unit by unit. Putting them all out for a parade is a great way to connect the dots.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty impessive array you have there. A few more banner would be nice and allow you to change their allegiance. My 15mm WotR (incl. many Minifigs) have removeable banners so I can field many historically correct commanders (although the livery rarely matches). Often wanted to play that Featherstone Campaign.
ReplyDeleteA few more banners, even as individual bases, would add colour and provide greater unit flexibility. Something for me to think about.
DeleteSimply splendid Peter :) !
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI think Minifigs medievals look great and your paint job has done them proud too. A super looking army.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Minifigs are enjoyable figures to paint and I like their sightly chunky look.
DeleteSee, everyone loves a parade. And it’s an enjoyable sight to see. Well done. It’s a great collection. 😀
ReplyDeleteNow you’re new units won’t be cursed!
Lol - thank you.
DeleteGreat collection Peter! Very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteIt is a joy to get them out and on the tabletop.
DeleteQuite an impressive turnout! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The hours spent at the painting table does pay dividends.
DeleteIt was the ECW games that brought me to your blog. I enjoyed them immensely
ReplyDeleteI am sure there will some more ECW games having recently messed around with the rules.
