These are all late additions to my Robin Hood project. I was ordering some things for other projects from Badger Games at the beginning of June and stumbled across these Grenadier miniatures, now made by Mirliton SG. They are very old sculpts, as you will be able to tell from the photos, but they have a lot of character and will add some atmosphere to my games. I wasn't sure if I would have time to paint them but they arrived quickly and the simplicity of the sculpts worked to my advantage.
The first pack consists of a Jester (center) and Buffoons. My 13-year-old really liked these so I let him pick the colors and designs. They were fun to paint.
This is the XIII Century Lords pack, though it came with 2 lords and 1 lady. I will use them as courtiers or wealthier citizens of Nottingham.
The Medieval Orchestra pack. The trumpeters came with separate arms, as did the violinist's bow arm. The seated trumpeter was also split at the waist and the stool was a seat and 3 separate legs. Talk about overkill! At least they were designed with sockets for the arms. I had to drill a couple of them deeper with a pin vise but everything superglued together securely.
The assembled denizens of Nottingham.
