Here is my latest batch of Elizabethan Border Ruffians, as I often do, I have found this batch of figures on eBay and of uncertain manufacture. In this case I believe that they may be old Vendel Miniatures, which I believe are no no longer available...
Figures were painted using my usual methodology of white undercoat, add colours and then apply Army Painter Dark Tone followed by Matt Vanish from Windsor & Newton. Figures then based are flocked with electrostatic grass and other materials.

Two mounted Ruffians, all lances are steel spears, acquired separately,
used as they much more robust than lead versions,...

| ... and from the other side |
 |
| Two more mounted ruffians, one English and one Scots - with the Targe |
 |
From the other side,
Border Family loyalties were somewhat fluid, when it came to national ties,
in times of national emergency, hey would turn out for whichever
nation was offering the best opportunities for the family.
