Guerre Folle-Mad War Breton Arrie Ban Longbow archers

Breton Arrie Ban Longbow archers

Contrary to the belief of many, the bretons also conducted practice for archery, quite often gathering at the local parish church, after 1425, 1 in every ten hearths raised a longbowman, at Saint Aubin du Cormier only about 1700 of the army was armed with them and a further 500 with the crossbow.  This Archer unit will join my Rennes contingent. I do like painting livery, it is very quick, I have another couple of units not far behind.  

Cheers

Aulerci Cénomani II


Gauls Aulerci Cénomani II

 More Skirmishers for my second Gallic tribe, I can see them now with another 50 mounted on bottle tops and prepared for painting. I think I may finish those and take a break whole I crack on with more medievals, then to focus on my ww2 collection before Christmas.  

Again miniatures from the 28mm Victrix plastics, and LBm transfers.



Cheers
