Smelly Peasant Types...more Wargames Atlantic Middle Ages 28mm

 

please excuse the unfinished bases, I haven't decided if I am going to make
 sabot bases so that I can use these in skirmish games or larger bases for Midgard

       At the bottom of the social and military pyramid were the serfs/peasants. Often forced by circumstances (or their feudal overlord) to take part in the squabbles of their "betters" their main objective was to survive and return to the back-breaking labor of farming. They had little in the way of funds to spend on armaments so often they were armed with modified agricultural tools. Under just the right circumstances they could be effective, but most often they were just there to do the grunt work and buff numbers. The Wargames Atlantic set provides a huge number of options for posing and arming the minis so you are spoiled for choices when building your force.

I should have mentioned this in the last post,
 the shields are all left blank white while I seek decals for the heraldry
 

 
       And this is for The Housemartin:

  3. Nice job on these...! I agree, a nice dirty brown or black wash will make them look truly oppressed...ha, ha!
