I actually did a bit of a
tutorial on how I made the flag – you can check it out here:

Mediaeval Foot Sergeants from Crusader
Miniatures.
These were not part of the Lion
Rampant Army Deal I recently ordered – though they were ordered at the same
time. The nice thing about the army deal was that you got exactly the number
you need for the units. The Crusader infantry generally come in sets of eight –
which isnt’s upper helpful if you’re trying to make units of 6 or 12 (unless
you want two units – then three packs will do you fine). Luckily there’s a four
man Infantry command pack that I purchased along with a pack of Foot Sergeants
with Spears to make 12 (thougha whole third of the unit then doesn’t actually
have spears… Ah, well… lovely figures though.
When I form them into Shiltron
I’ll just tuck those non-spear-armed guys into the second rank to hide… and
maybe remove them as the first casualties…? Well, at least that horn-blower lad
can be first to go!
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Game reports. Someday…?
Those are excellent :)
ReplyDeleteI like the personalisation especially...
Thanks Mike.
DeleteExcellent! I have a halfling knight with a similar bunny device (but different background color).
ReplyDeleteNice! Is it on Tales of MIrth? I will have to go have a look.
DeleteI've been trying to think of a way to paint a fox or a hawk or a BADGER on the shields of the enemy forces!
Ah, I misspoke/misremembered! I had thought about painting it on his shield, because his crest is a bunny. The pic is at http://talesofmirth.blogspot.com/2009/05/halfling-contingent.html
DeleteThose troops look great...
