Flower of Craven mounted archers

I have started Clifford’s Flower of Craven, beginning with the mounted archers. I am planning eight mounted and eight dismounted figures, with a base of a couple of horses and a horse holder.

My intention is to match the dismounted archers as closely as possible with their mounted counterparts, so I selected two similar figures from the Perry Miniatures’ Wars of the Roses Light Cavalry and Infantry sets, and sculpted long riding boots and spurs for the dismounted figure with Green Stuff. I’m no sculptor, and this is my first time using Green Stuff (I like it), but I’m reasonably pleased with the result.

I have also assembled two horses with their holder and a standard bearer. Now I’m really looking forward to getting paint on them.

The first pair of archers, the horses and horse holder, with standard bearer. The horses are from Claymore Castings, the standard bearer is Steel Fist Miiniatures, and the horse holder is a Perry Miniatures archer.
