Northampton and Oxford archers

The first block of Archers completed for the game.

First French Town Militia Unit

I now have 6 units done for this project and 9 still to paint up.

First Archer Unit

Archers under the command of John De Vere,Earl of Oxford fighting in Bretony 1342. Oxford was subordinate to Northampton at the Battle of Morlaix.

The figures will be based on 50mm by 60mm deep bases and there will be two units of three bases. These will form part of the right flank of the English line under Oxford.

Day one

Today started the long journey to build an English and French Army to refight the Battle of Morlaix 1342. The Battle was part of the Breton War of Succession and sometimes linked to the Crecy campaigns in the Early Hundred Years War. I will be mostly be using Claymore Castings as this is a demo game for the company.

Here are the two armies bases  layed out as a first draft.

English: 4 units of Archers, 1 unit of foot knights/MAA, 1 unit of Infantry.

French: 3 units of Mounted Knights, 3 units of Crossbow (one Genoese), 3 units of infantry.

I'll post more ase the project takes shape.
