28mm INFAMY INFAMY Caesar & Pompey project



I so enjoyed doing the collection of the Year of the Four Emperors for Infamy Infamy that I decided to start the second of these projects and do the late republics war between Caesar and Pompey.
I already had the figures in my stash and decided on figures from both Foundry and companion for one side and Old Glory for the other...
Below we have my Pompeian forces so far with some Numidian javelinmen...I really enjoyed doing these figures they are lovely to paint and Mark Copplestone is a great designer.  


The shields are again transfers that I have had for many years just waiting for this project


Below we have my forces of Caesar with some archers and Gallic Mercenaries.
Here the sculpting is not quite as well defined but these are a lot older figures and they work well in the project so I am very happy with them.


With many of these troops I have chosen to hand paint the shields just for more variant in the designs




 

28mm Barons Wars "Retro" project



I have had these figures for many years and decided recently to start doing the collection when the new rules for this period came out.
The collection is built from Essex , Citadel , Foundry and Crusader.
I also have men at arms and archers with billmen and crossbowmen and am looking forward to finish this collection.
Also with my good friend Frazer building a massive collection of this period I need to get my finger out...lol
Below we see King Henry 3rd with his son Edward and many of his nobles.


Below we see Simon De Montford with his son and the rebel nobles that backed him.


Here we have a large number of Knights on foot that I have painted using some great shield transfers that I was given about 25 years ago...
I really enjoyed painting these figures and doing all the variety of the colours used
