So here we are with my next unit, the project is coming along quite nicely, I've finished two units, the first was the mounted archers, which I've now decided to keep as a unit of 6 and the new unit which is what I shall be sharing today. These are 9 heavier cavalry, in the retinue of Sir Walter Blount, there are two knights in full plate armour, the main man Sir Walter, who I have depicted with slightly fancier armour, and also his ageing father, Sir Thomas Blount whom I have chosen to have plainer armour, perhaps representing older armour used in an earlier war and brought out again. I've given the retainers a mix of weaponry and armour as well as different coloured coats and clothes, just to keep things fresh, hopefully at some point in the near future I will be ordering a set of Banners to go on a couple of the lances/spears! I will next be working on a unit of Burgundian mercenaries which I have already started, a pike block to start with but eventually more, probably some burgundian cavalry at some point, both light and heavy. I have also turned my hand to a bit of conversion work, which I will probably feature in my next post. I have realised as writing this post that I missed some moulded on grass tufts, I will sort this later on so that i do not delay this post any further!
