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.
Fantastic looking figures, nicely painted. Great scenery too.

They look great, with a nice choice of rural colours to match the subject.

ReplyDeleteHa! I like that idea that cranky old farts have been telling youngsters to "Git offa mah lawn" since time immemorial.
ReplyDeleteLol kids these day and in days past, eh?
Deletegreat miniatures and paintjob mate ;)
ReplyDeleteIt says a lot for the sculpting of the figures that they get you thinking about the motivations of the characters depicted! Great work.
