TOPIC: Converting billmen to pikemen |
Standard User Posts: 1 Heliat 18th Oct 2021 01:59:35 Hello everyone, I am thinking of creating a 16th century Scottish army (for Flodden through to Pinkie) , and I'm looking for suitable figures. I noticed that the WotR billmen in jacks would be a good fit for standard rank and file, but as the name suggests they are incorrectly armed. My question is does anyone know how difficult it would be to remove the bills and replace them with pikes? |

I think you have a fair point there, especially as there are figures in padded jacks in both those codes. An alternative, if you will pardon my heresy, would be to move up to 10mm and use Pendraken's dedicated Flodden range, which is how I approached it. A little goes a long way |

Ha,ha,ha! Thought, this is going to take yonks to paint, so I have bought the Peter Dennis pre-painted 2D WoFun Flodden Armies. A little goes a long way |
