Some new figures and another cannon emplacement

Two packs from Steel Fist Miniatures arrived today, and lovely figures they are too.

A command set (LM15) and women camp followers (LM32) will have great utility once I figure out a few vignettes around camp, farm, and village life. The messenger will probably have spurs added, and be coupled with one of my Claymore Castings standing horses.

I have been meaning to model a second emplacement for a cannon for ages; since it has been too hot to paint I made a start with this little project.

These lovely women were sculpted by Paul Hicks. The figure on the left can hold a fork or a hand gun.

A very useful set of figures – just need to figure out who will be who.

I’m beginning to think about the civilain population for my medieval adventure; camps, a farm, and village.

Steel Fist Miniatures have just announced some rather splendid female camp followers sculpted by Paul Hicks – I shall definitely be buying a set of these. I’m also looking for male figures for my small farm, and Perry Miniatures’ labourers set may prove suitable.

Debris of War have some rather nice tents, and their haystacks and bee hives look useful. They have a range of dry stone walls too, which will probably prompt me to make roads.

I have just taken delivery of Victrix farm animals, loot, and sacks from their Pillage range. I was never going to need full sets, so I bought a sprue of each from The Sprue Shop.

Wenlock’s retinue is almost ready for basing, and I have assembled a few extra hand gunners for the Yorkists.

… loot and sacks.

A few more hand gunners, destined to be in the service of Edward IV. I added simple small pouches to some of the figure’s belts, made from ProCreate.
