High Medieval Foot - Based & Rebased

Here are the foot for the Battle of Worringen game which should be on the table in a week or so. All of the figures, except for the "Revolting Peasants" were painted some time ago. Still need to get flags for the Brabant and Berg forces - both have a lion rampant as their heraldry; Brabant's a gold/yellow lion on a black field, and Berg's a red lion on a white field. Appropriately the rules intended to be used will be Lion Rampant. It'll be interesting to see how it works as the number of figures for the game, which will include several mounted MAA units will be fairly large for the rules. Anyway, all of the figures were recently based (or re-based) on to 40mm square Litko plywood bases.

Mostly Old Glory with a few Curteys

Here are the recently completed Old Glory "Revolting Peasants." They are the citizens of Cologne who sided with Jan of Brabant. Per the rules, they should be classed as Serfs, but their actual impact at the battle may make them Fierce Foot.

These are the Foot Serjeants of Siegfried of Westerburg, the hated Archbishop of Cologne. Hated by the citizenry of Cologne, among others. Except for the standard bearer in the front unit which is an Old Glory figure, all the rest are Curteys. The flags represent Luxembourg and Guelders. Siegfried is believed to have used a plain black cross on white field. He was affiliated with the Teutonic Knights. Incidentally, two brothers from the Order tried, unsuccessfully, to negotiate peace prior to the battle.

Mostly Curteys

Here are the Foot Serjeants belonging to Jan of Brabant and Adolph VIII of Berg. Still needing their standards. Except for the musician on the far right rear, all of the figures are Old Glory from their Mongols in Europe range. They actually match-up very nicely with the Curteys, but were based separately.

Next are the crossbowmen who will be divided up between both forces. These are Old Glory Normans from their Dark Ages range. These figures were used extensively in the past in armies ranging from Normans to HYW French - mostly WAB games when they were singly-based.

Old Glory, DA-19

Finally a handful of Old Glory crossbowmen from their Mongols in Europe range. They'll be part of Siegfried's forces.

This will be only my second or third Lion Rampant game, and am looking forward to seeing it played out scenario-based versus point-based.
