Another unit of infantry ready for action. This time a unit of Kallistra 100 years war Scottish Pikemen thatis a very interesting unit as it is split between half and half of aggressive and passive stances. This allows for what, I believe, looks like a very realistic pike unit. But do judge for yourself :-).
This unit has a "brother" unit consisting of the same troops but with an inverted colourscheme. They will be up next :-).

Very nice (and nice terrain). The chain mail comes out well. Don't know much about the livery of the period so please excuse my lack of knowledge here - as a Scot myself, my first impression was that they were English (!) because the shields look so much like St George's crosses - is this period too early for the St George's cross to have been adopted by English armies?

ReplyDeleteWell to be honest I just paint them any way I feel like but as they are much more likely to see use as British troops it does work to have them look a but more southern. So unfortunately Id ont know too much about the periods uniforms etc but was more aiming for a uniform llok for the army (white and reds with a smattering of other colours while the "savage" parts (i.e. warbands etc) get the natural colours of green, white and brownish tint).
Hope that makes sense and I do regret not having done the research beforehand but as I use these for any army I feel like playing the overall appearance was much more important than a given historic periods unifroms :-).
Best regards,
