We Sergeants Three..... Erm, perhaps a few more than three, 28mm Wargames Atlantic Foot Sergeants

 

 

now that I'm looking at him in a photo I see that I'm going

 to have to go back and fix the Old Man's face, that crooked mouth is killing me!

        The last part of my mass-build of the Wargames Atlantic Sergeants/Peasants sets is this group of spear-armed sergeants. My intent while building them was to get an "alike, but not the same" posing and equipment. To add some variety I used some of the unarmored peasant bodies to reflect poorer soldiers and made the rest using mailed/padded torsos. Once again the huge assortment of weapons and arms holding them made this a simple process. The color scheme is a nod to the year I spent in Cub Scouts (before I was expelled, but that is another story) with strong blues and rich yellows providing a pleasant contrast. The crisp detailing on the minis made painting less of a chore than I had thought it would be, only the sheer number of them slowed me down.

 

the shields are left white while I hunt up decals 

the dynamic poses work well, nothing to outlandish, just nice active posing

 

of course some wanker didn't read his message

 and showed up with a pole-arm instead of a spear!
 

 

 

 

there were a bunch of arrows in the set so I made "shot markers"
