Look what I found- Part III
Well here we go again another box another army I'd sort of forgotten. To be honest "Army" is putting it a bit strong. There are a total of 73 painted 28mm figures- all Old Glory from the Wars of Religion range. Yes I knew I had them but not where or how many there were. Like quite a lot of the part armies and odd units that I've accunulated during 20 years in this business it tends to start with
"Hmm New Range- better do a unit or two for the display case at shows and for some photos"
Quite often that's as far as it gets. I've a list of units of various sorts for sale Many pro-painted that have done their duty and had their photos taken. Time permitting- and once I decide which ones can go the journey I'll post on here with pictures. I know I have Mycenaen and Trojan chariots I can say goodbye to and some Polish Winged Hussars. Like wise some Cowboys and Pirates- all of which have appeared on the OGUK website .
However when it come to these lads I can't make my mind up
English troops of the mid 16th century. The Earl of Leicester took troops like this to help the Dutchagainst Spain.
Landsknect Musketeers of the 1560-80s period in very very silly trousers! According to Montluc you could here them coming a mile away- so they don't get to surprise you - startle Yes Appall possibly but not surpise !
Now as for other stuff I must sort out. I've a pro-painted 1st Maori Wars collection somewhere. Never been out of its box since I bought it 12 or so years ago ......

Nice looking figures, love them trousers too!
ReplyDeleteI think your criteria for getting rid of figures should be "Do they bring back any good memories?"
ReplyDeleteCracking set of figures, reminds me a lot of your Elizabethan Irish War stuff.
They went a few years back - roughly when these came out- I think I'll hang on to them- maybe even add a few but the Poles .Celts Spaniards. Cowboys ,Pirates Moaris etc Never used so no memeories.
