I finally finished painting my first unit of Perry Miniatures 28mm War of the Roses plastic figures. It took me forever to cut, glue and assemble the two boxes, but I like how the first longbow unit turned out. I have another longbow unit on the painting table, and then a unit of billmen. I'm still not used to how light a stand of plastic figures feel. There is still something comforting about 1lb of lead in your hand! I took these pictures
outside, away from the shadows of my gaming room, and I really like the natural light.

I'm not a fan of the plastics because it takes ages to assemble them but these sure look good!
ReplyDeleteNice work!

I'm not a plastics fan either, it must be said, but these have turned out nice Cory - certainly the spirit of late 80s Bretonnian archers lives on.
ReplyDeleteIt even caused me to consider using these and the Conquest plastic Normans to make a Bretonnian army for WFB... until I realised I'd then have to convince everyone, someone, anyone, to play WFB again.
