I was reading some of my old wargaming books when I became inspired to have a go at either ancient or medieval gaming. I have a heap of plastic and some metal ancient figures that I have never organised or played with. I seem to lose my mojo quite quickly. On the other hand the idea of longbowmen and tin men on horses bashing each other does appeal. Again I have a box of old minifigs knights etc, but these too are not properly organised or based.
I then remembered that lurking in the garage in storage are a mass of 'toy soldier' knights. I was soon amongst the cobwebs and mouse droppings and unearthed a few boxes, I was surprised by what I found - long forgotten men.
Most were painted to some degree and I spent a few hours putting bases on those that weren't - mainly to stop them falling over on the table.
I am about halfway through sorting them out. This is what I have uncovered so far:
These are Timpo and Timpo lookalike knights:
Timpo foot soldiers/knights:
Accurate? French knights on foot:
Britains Deetail archers:
Britains Deetial Knights:
Britains Herald archers:
Turkish light spearmen, by Britians:
Turkish Heavy Infantry:
More Herald archers:
Turkish infantry:
Turkish Cavalry:
Revell? English? foot:
There are quite a few more to unbox. I will show these in my next post. I am thinking that I have sufficient forces to play a European force against the Turkish hoards.
