Totengräber's Workpläce

I spent most of this weekend assembling the Bretonnian figures I’ve bought over the last couple of weeks in hopes of getting to play on Saturday. That didn’t happen, which was no big deal, but I have this great feeling of accomplishment at having gotten it done. Well, technically, it’s not all done. The Knights and Men At Arms are sans shields and the Battle Standard Bearer is sans standard right now until I at least primer all of them. The bases will all get some little adornments as well. But for now, I’m counting it as “done” since I can play with it now.

The list of what is shown here is as follows (from left to right): Lance of Knights of the Realm (8) with Bretonnian Lord, Men at Arms (16) wih some Empire Swordsmen recruited temporarily, Bowmen (no command figs), Lance of Knights Errant (8) with Paladin Battle Standard Bearer. In the back is a mounted Damsel and the single Mounted Yeoman I have right now, and the Pegasus Knights (4). All the movement trays were homemade by me with sheet styrene and strips of bass wood.

The Pegasus Knights were probably the biggest pain because with the bases and such GW gives you, you’d never be able to rank them up in combat. I went to Hobby Town USA and picked up some thick brass rod, which was a pain to cut, and mounted them as you see there. The biggest trouble was trying to keep them from leaning one way or another. I think some are still leaning just a bit, but I’m not messing with them now.

At this point, I think I can field around 1300-1500 points. Next purchases will be 3 more Mounted Yeomen, another box (or two) of Men At Arms and another lance of Knights.
A trebuchet (or possibly the recommended 2) may come later.
