Billmen of Lord Hastings

The Billmen of William Hastings form up, bills levelled for action. There are some lovely figures here from Front Rank miniatures.


Bow and Bill.

The officer with his bodyguard orders the formation to advance.





A wall of nasty hooks and points from the medieval meat grinder.




The standard is from Pete's Flags off eBay.

 Update: let's get some mud on them!

The plastic bristles are cut up and stuck into the mud, this time I dipped them in UHU glue first. This should make them a bit tougher on the base.
I also took the opportunity to brush some of the mud onto the legs and clothes of the figures. This just helps to tie them into the base and tell more of a story.

Static grass and mixed herbs were sprinkled on the wet mud and pushed in with a brush.
I also cleared a couple of areas in the mud that I'm going to fill with AK puddle solution. More on this later.
