Medieval Scots Range of Figures

Andrew Taylor and I have been planning a range of 28mm Medieval Scots for almost two years. We have now decided to show the progress. Here are a few images of what has been sculpted so far. We hope to have these ready for release at Salute 2012. Sculpted by the talented Paul Hicks.

The Command



The first release will be a set of Scots spearmen that formed the bulk of the forces that fought at Otterburn 1388 and Hambleton Hill 1402.
 

Scots Spear 1



Scots Spear 2

These figures could also be used in other nation’s armies of the period or earlier battles.


Scots Spear 3



These spearmen would form up in a Schiltron type formation, bristling with12-14ft long spears. The Command set has been designed to lead this formation from the front.


Andrew and I have big plans to add archers, English spear and character packs in the future.

Watch this space!

Those are really superb Dave, good luck with your venture, though doubt you will need it. Looking forward to seeing some painted by Andrew and yourself.

Mr. Bigglesworth said...

Thanks for making me feel really depressed about my sculpting efforts - those figures are just so amazing. Do you do the sculpting yourself?

DeanM said...

Holy cow! Those are flawless. They're all of the highest quality, but I have a softspot for the guy with the visored (pig face) bascinet. Best, Dean

P.S. Just when I thought I had "enough" Medieval figures!

Very nice looking pieces. And a very interesting undertaking.

Very nice indeed, although I would bend the cross guard tips forward for the classic Scottish sword look.

Dave Huntley (sheepman) said...

How could you do this to me, the temptation to add to my Otterburn collection http://thenorthumbrianwargamer.blogspot.com/search/label/Medieval
will become overwhelming. A fantastic piece of work, well done.

Roger C said...

Wow, came across these completley by accident and have just ordered the Otterburn Osprey on the stregnth of it. Not sure when Salute is so Dates wise when can we expect to be able to purchase?

Foss1066 said...

Well David, you kept this under your hat for a good long time! Very cool dude! Can you give a hint as to weapons packs to go with these muckle lads?
Cheers and Best of luck!

saxon dog said...

Hi Guys,
Amazing response to our project.
I'll post more information soon.

Roger C: Salute is in April but with any luck we will have these up for sale just before the show.
We are creating a website and I'll keep you all informed.

rogerc said...

recomendations for readign material and rules for the period gratefully accepted. thinking to use for smaller scale battles on the borders around 1400.

Christopher(aka Axebreaker) said...

They look great David and should sell very well!
I wish they were a bit earlier to fight my early HYW English.

Cheers
Christopher
