Crossbowmen

This unit of crossbowmen is made up mostly of GW Marksmen of Miragliano, with one old C26 Man at Arms to make up the tenth member.

These models really impressed me when I had a chance to study them closely as I prepared them. They are very finely sculpted by the Perry twins and full of lovely characterful details. They really look like a villainous band of war weary mercenaries on campaign. They are laden with sacks, bags of pillaged loot, hunted game, spare boots etc. fantastic!

I made a few minor conversions mainly to attempt to give them a slightly more Eastern European look to fit in with the Late 15th century Hungarian theme of my army. A couple of head swaps, and adding some more facial hair was the extent of it.

They were painted very rapidly using the oil wash method I describe in detail in this post on the Devoured By Saturn Blog.
