Off the table for my Scottish medieval army, a mix of Claymore and one foundry and one mirliton miniature. Based for impetus, I intend to also use them for the Barons wars and the Scottish wars.

Feudal Scottish Spear
Off the desk this week also some of Claymore Castings very fine Scottish and English feudal ranges for the late 1280s to the 1400s. I have selected from the range, figures that would step back for my 1264 Lewes project. The only reason they were not posted up earlier is that I had no spears to fit them out! They are based for impetus with purple flowers or perhaps thistles.........
Cheers
