More mercenary crossbow men

I’ve had a bit of time to finish assembling my mercenary crossbow men, and they are beginning to look the part.

Some of these fellows are really quite encumbered with bolt quivers, cranequin or windlass, swords and bucklers.

The joins between arms and torsos required a bit of filling, but they’re now ready for undercoating … then I have to decide on their liveries.

14 more crossbowmen assembled from Perry Miniatures’ plastics and Steel Fist Miniatures’ metal dollies. These will join the two I finished a while ago.

More mercenary crossbow men and first application of paint

I’ve made a bit of progress with the new project this week, while keeping an eye on the Sudan adventure.

I have assembled a few more mercenary crossbow men, although most still need helmets and some will get swords. I need to consider the style of helmet, since this should aline with these fellows’ regional origins.

I also got around to applying the first coat of flesh to the figures that I assembled over the past few weeks.

More mercenary crossbow men, utilising Perry Miniatures plastic parts and Steel Fist Miniatures dollies.

The first application of paint … mercenary hand gunners on the left and artillery crew figures on the right. One of the yellow fellows at the top is destined to become Lord John Clifford … the other is for practicing the tabard, which will be a check pattern of yellow and blue, with a red bar, or Chequy or et azure, a fess gules.
