Scots Common 15mm DBA Army

After having painted up Edward II's English army for Bannockburn, I had to complete his opponent's force - Robert the Bruce and his Scots Common Army (Book IV/16).  These were a kind Xmas present from Andy.  The figures are from Donnington Miniatures although the anachronistic artillery piece (which is in the Army List but for the later Scots' armies) is from Essex, and there is an AB Sassanid slinger making up the numbers in the Solid Horde element.  As usual, the figures are gloss varnished.

Feudal English 15mm DBA Army

Recently finished a Feudal English DBA army (Book IV list  23).  Notwithstanding his reputation amongst English kings, I opted to paint the army as Edward II's host at the Battle of Bannockburn, 1314.  It was fun to research the heraldry of the knights there present.  The figures are by Essex (with some Corvus Belli peasants mixed in), painted in acrylics and gloss varnished as usual.

Medieval DBA Camp

Recently finished this 15mm Medieval Tower from Baueda to serve as a baggage or camp element or a Built Up Area for medieval armies.  The tower is 40mm x 40mm at the base and can fit a 40mm x 40mm element on top.

The door is scratch-built from cardboard and metal.  Some Medieval Swiss 15mm figures on top for scale.
