Well I bet this is a surprise? No Donnybrook!
Long Long ago, long before my blog, I painted up a rather large 15mm army for both sides for the Battle of Pavia 1525. The Rejects played quite a few games using Age of Discovery rules, which always worked well, if a little fiddly. I'll get them out again one day, I promise!
These 3 small units have been glued to sticks ready to paint since around 2002-5. So I thought they'd be a good entry into The Obliette bonus round.
I hadn't planed on painting any 15mm figures during this Challenge, but it sure reminded me just how quick they are to paint up, over 25mm.
The figures on the right are from Essex Miniatures and I can't remember who made the two Landsknechte units? They could be Venexia, but I'm not 100% sure?
The 3 units of 15mm figures will earn me 48 points
along with the 20 point Bonus, making a total of
68 points.
Always glad to see arquebusier's units, nice exit from oubliettes Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil!
DeleteThat was a long time ago. Good excuse to finally paint them.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was.
DeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteWhat is truly impressive is that you remembered your basing scheme having returned to your long lost project.
ReplyDeleteI've got it all written down in a little red book!
DeleteDeadly looking lot!
ReplyDeleteCheers John.
DeleteSuperb work
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteLovely work on them all Ray :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon.
DeleteI do like seeing raggety-arsed units rather than the more poplar parade ground ones !
ReplyDeleteVery surprised these aren;t for Donnyborrk, though not disappointed.
I was nuce actually getting them painted up after all those years waiting.
DeleteGreat looking troops, Ray. I'm always surprised to see they are 15's - they look like 28's at first glance.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. Kind words indeed.
DeleteNice work on the fifteens Ray...a change is as good as a rest, they do say!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!
DeleteA nice addition to the Challenge, and I too am finding a recent transition from 15mm back to 28mm more of a slog than I'd remembered.
ReplyDeleteI swore a couple of years ago that I'd never buy another 25mm period, not sure what happened......
DeleteThat's a force to be reckoned with.
