My Blood & Crowns English and Burgundian forces are more or less finished. I’ve built them both to 250 points, but I’ll eventually go higher (300-400?).
A new addition to my English is an optional special character. I present the Prince of Wales, the Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock. The exemplar of chivalry who was also a total bastard, ravager of the French countryside, hero of Crecy, and winner of The Battle of Poitiers.
The miniature was an option from the Blood & Crowns Kickstarter, printed by a friend. The sculpt is very nice, with lots of raised detail for his livery. I made his armor very bright and clean, and his tabard and shield are pretty colorful. His armor got an extra highlight of silver, with gold and brass accents. I based the overall look from various references.
I happened to have a nice raised base to elevate him above his subordinates. I had one base with a broken fleur de lis, appropriate for such an enemy of France.
On the other hand, the second pic is the polar opposite. French Feudal Levy mass to fight for their lord, ready to die in droves if needed. These miniatures are Wargames Atlantic 3D sculpts, a mix of complete prints and multi-part models. I kept their colors dull and dark for the most part, though spots of color keep them from being boring. Being untrained levy, they are armed with whatever farm tools they had at hand, so a mix of pitchforks, grain flails, bill hooks, axes, and even knives.
The Peasants will also be used for my Crusaders forces for Saga. I have enough models still to build that I could really pad out a Pilgrim-heavy Crusaders army.
