They required moderate repairs, refurbishment and rebasing
They would probably work as Flemish mercenaries or similar.
There were enough figures for a second unit in this marching pose..
or for one double sized unit!
Alloy pikes and spears are always a challenge!
These required as much straightening as I dared without risking breakage!
There were also these wonderful Organ guns,
but only 2 crew figures.
Who makes artillery crew figures in 25/28 mm suitable for the Late Medieval era?
I do love these odd contraptions, which were probably mostly used when defending a breach or prepared position subject to assault.

ReplyDeleteMore nice medieval refurbishments Peter (got your name right this time!) If you were asking a serious question, I am sure Front Rank would have artillerymen in their WotR range.....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith. Front Rank is another good idea to think about!
DeleteGreat looking spearmen and I love the organ gun, old glory although there will be loads, still cheap for you though?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Yes, I'll have to check out Old Glory's line and see if there are any. medieval artillerists!
DeleteNice updates on the Spearman/Pikemen. Fingers crossed for you to keep the spears for one more trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. It looks like they may not be needed for Historicon this year.
DeleteFoundry do a late Medieval artillery crew c. 1470s
ReplyDeleteThanks! Worth keeping in mind for December! :-)
DeleteOrgan guns are a rather unique bit of kit, the frontal spear seems rather superfluous
ReplyDeleteSomething like them was used on Pedro Navarro's War Carts at the Battle of Ravenna, 1512, though!
DeleteVery nice work on Bill's troops as usual Peter, and those organ guns are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence! I do love the strange contraptions!
DeleteNice looking troops - I think Flemish mercs would work too. The guns are great - I think Old Glory may sell separate crew.
ReplyDeleteI checked, and right you are, Dean; will add a pack of WotR Artillery crew to the next order!
