Longbowmen

Knights / Mounted Men at Arms

Scottish Spear Schiltrons

Crossbowmen with Pavises

Foot Spearmen / Men at Arms

The usual Sunday morning diversions, this time playing around with some Antonine Miniatures 2mm blocks in an attempt to create units for the early Hundred Years War, mid to late Fourteenth Century or so. I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while and I think it would work well with the One Hour Wargames rules, with some tweaks to the unit profiles to incorporate longbows alongside the existing crossbow armed archers. 

So, here we have a selection of units including the aforementioned longbows, men at arms / foot spears, cavalry men at arms / knights and a schiltron spear unit in case the Scots are involved. The bases are 120mm x 40mm x 3mm, which just happened to be in the spare bases box, for some long forgotten purpose that now eludes me. I’d be interested to know what you think about this idea, as it’s not really realistic in historical terms but fits the rules quite well, give it take the tweaks I’ve mentioned.
