With less and less space to work due to the size of my diorama project I decided to press on with getting the final few figures done on my Footsore Baron’s War army. This week I got two archers done which by my calculations has left me with just three to do now.
In reality I do have about five or six other foot figures to do but these are all duplicates and will get done eventually but not for now. I’ve put these with the mounted Knights I have to do and will aim to get these done throughout the year but only after my diorama is done. Without wishing to say too much, as more will be revealed under my diorama posts, I have a dozen mounted figures to paint for that eventually along with numerous foot figures as well.
Not much to say on the archers other than images are below.

Thanks Dave. It’s taken much longer than I thought it would but I’m pleased to have stuck with it and gotten this far. 🙂

Great work on the archers TIM, can well imagine how much space your diorama is taking up, so understand the focus change.

It’s a long way short of a gaming table Dave but it’s big enough to fill my modelling space so something has had to give temporarily.

The chap without cap is an eye-catcher for me. You did a really good job on his face Dave!
Don’t you think not painting Baron’s War will leave a hole in your heart?

I have enjoyed the knights but the peasants have held less interest from a painting perspective. Although I’ll be leaving this project behind I’ve got a dozen mounted knights to do form my current diorama so any withdrawal symptoms will be short lived. 😉

Nice work on these latest two! Having only three to go means you’ll have these done in a week or two, I’d imagine, which will be a great accomplishment 🙂

Nearing the finish line imparts a wonderful feeling – looking forward to the grand unveiling. The two archers are nice – and I really am partial to the first. You’ve done a nice job on the faces, and the fletchings even look good. I think your painting of all of these, even peasantry, will be amazing to see all assembled.

I do think the first archer is probably one of the best poses for an archer yet!!It must be the way you have done a great job on his face!
