| Three Ruffians on Perry's WoR Horses |
I got an eBay lot of 16 mounted border reivers a few weeks back and I was looking for suitable horses to mount them on, then I remembered I had a couple of boxes of Perry's War of The Roses mounted figures in the loft.
 |
Unusually for me I glued this English flag in position permanently,
here are two Warlord Pike & Shot Horses Centre & Right
|
Seems I'd already raided these boxes for horses and between them I managed to source 12 horses, so I then dragged in 4 Warlord Pike & Shot horses to make up the numbers.
 |
| One figure came with a moulded on Targe, he makes a good leader figure |
I found some bags in my spares box, to add to the horses and also made some extra blanket rolls to add extra clutter to the figures but what I was really looking for was some small 'Targe' shields to add to some of the figures to give them that additional something else.
 |
More usual for me, a Scots flag that can be swapped as needed,
also an example of a saddle holster added to give more period flavour
|
 |
I like that only two of the figures have muskets, two others have crossbows
and one I added a pistol, as his saddle holster was empty!
|
I'm not certain of the manufacturers of these figures, I suspect Wargames Foundry or Hoka Hey as they fit in well with my foot figures for the period.
 |
| Another view of some of the figures |
So I'm now out of Elizabethan figures to paint, so guessing I'll revert back to Pike & Shot, Siege of Vienna figures. I have an infantry regiment to paint up and I have just found three Ottoman Heavy Cavalry figures to have a go at,,,
 |
I use steel spears / lances on all my 28mm figures and yes, they are sharp!
But I find players give the figures more respect when they know they
can hurt themselves if they mishandle the little guys....
|
 |
| Another random selection of the little guys... |
 |
And a final shot, I added swords to a couple of the figures to give variety,
half of them are spear armed.
