28mm Foot Men-at-Arms for Lion Rampant

Another twelve-man unit in 28 mm for Lion Rampant, this time Men-at-Arms from Front Rank Figurines. I loved painting these figures - the sculpted detail and facial expressions are simply exquisite. I trawled Google for heraldry ideas and copied whatever caught my fancy. I had also taken a myriad of photographs during a visit to Prague a couple of years ago - the place is just bursting with medieval emblems and coats of arms - and found that material very useful. My noblemen are now itching for a fight.

    Those look really great! Nicely done.
    I don’t have the book in front of me, but aren’t men at arms in units of 6?

    I came via TMP and Circus Minimius, and have enjoyed the stay. Nice stuff. Haven't been to Malta for 20 years - really must remedy that as my wife has family on the island. Keep up the blog work :-)
