Sometime late
spring I had an thought about doing 28mm mediaeval. And I persuaded my friend
Håkan to depart from some of his older Brettonia miniatures that he didn´t use
any more thinking they could be used to make up the cheap bulk force on an
medieval collection.
I just gave them a quick white priming before painting and glued their foots to an plastic multibase. No paint cleaning just prime over the already existing paint.
In medieval
Im thinking brown… So I wanted lots of brown colors, and some red-brown to give
the miniatures some colors.
Im really happy how they turned out with so little effort, some time a quick paintjob is all it takes.

But 28mm medieval…
Its not in my current list of projects and I went heavily with Vikings and my
Tribal Africa instead of painting these since I got them. But with an small
window now between I had replenished the lead(and plastic nowadays)pile I gave
some of them some time. Hearing about different plastic infantry boxes from
Fireforge games and the latest medieval miniatures from Crusader could help me
expand this today small medieval collection.
Maybe sometime at the start of next year I will get me some new medieval
miniatures.
But the
Brettonian archers, what conflicts could they be used in ?
Looking realy good !!!
ReplyDeleteNice to see that you get in to the medieval era to, but shoulden you go for a Swedish or Danish force;)
Time for a rebase... mix them up with some crossbowmen and spears etc and you got your self some realy nice 14th century Allmoge soldiers:)
Battles between Queen margareta of Denmark and The Swedish? King Alberekt of Mecklenburg... skirmish cogs and Victualian Brotherhod...
Sorry just gor carried away..
Best regards Michael
Thanks Dalauppror, I was really hoping you to do just that.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I only got archers but thinking on what to get to expand the force.
But I should settle for an era or conflict before I start expanding.
