Bloody Miniatures: The Squire's Men

 Another fantastic pack from Bloody Miniatures: BM006, The Squire's Men. 

On the one hand I see them as loyal, down to earth folk with Parliamentarian leanings...

... on the other hand, rural communities tend to be fairly conservative, suspicious of new ideas...


... so perhaps they don't see the need for change: they have a good life, their employer treats them well.


Then again, maybe their lord, eager to improve his standing, supports Parliament. Otherwise indifferent, their loyalty to him ensures their loyalty to parliament. 


One thing is for sure, they do not appreciate belligerent cavalier types intruding on their lord's property.

  9. It says a lot for the sculpting of the figures that they get you thinking about the motivations of the characters depicted! Great work.
