I'm obsessed about the Hundred Years War. I always have been since I was a child. I don't even know why! OK, as a wargamer I know why; I find it fascinating, alluring, and visually captivating.
I've been putting together a Warhammer Ancient Battles Hundred Years War English army from an army that has been rebased so many times it will not recover in terms of chips and damage. whilst not destroyed, I do want to make an effort to start again and Agincourt is just so iconic as a medieval battle, ergo the heraldic information much more accessible without combing tomes hidden in the deep dark vaults of the British Library, sadly unavailable to me. I hope to cover first, the Perry packs with the heraldry sculpted on as this will serve to give me a gauge as to just how large the charges etc need to be on the fields on the actual miniatures. I'm also endeavoring to paint up the heraldic banners too with both miniatures temporarily based. Eventually they will serve as the English battles at Agincourt!
This will be done simultaneously as I crack on with my other projects so there's going to be plenty to see over the next few months/years.
"A Lancaster! A Lancaster! A Henry! A Henry!"
You are a tease, telling us what's coming... but not yet.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you do with the Perry figures, their plastic range is pretty impressive for the period, not to mention the mass of metal personalities and vignettes.
What rules do you use for the HYW?
LOL..... It will no doubt be a mix of Perry plastics and metals. The odd conversion here and there too.
