Hundred Years War Ranges Unit pictures


Over the last five to six weeks I have been painting S Range Hundred Years War figures and have now just about finished. I previously had been painting a large quantity of Lamming Medievals. The two makers are not compatible, to my eyes at least, so the S Range figures are intended for use with Lion Rampant rules, while the Lammings are intended to use the old Lamming Campaign rules. I have very few S Range mounted figures but far more Lamming knights.

Here are some unit pictures. As ever the painting is basic (no shading, no heraldry) and some of the photos are not as good as I would have liked, but the purpose is to show these figures en masse.

first picture: mounted knights

Then the missile troops:

 Crossbowmen


armoured archers

Hundred Years War Range

Minifigs produced a number of S Range medieval ranges. The Hunderd Years war range comprised thirteen foot and three mounted figures. There were also sub ranges for the Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt periods which between them added a further eighteen fooy and twelve mounted figures. The original catalogues I have only list the main Hundered Years War range so the other listings are taken from Vintage 20mil.

In addition to the main hHunderd Years War range there were three sub ranges, relating to specific periods during the war and relating to the three great battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. I presume this was so you could tailor your armies to narrower periods, better representing changes in weapons and armour, while also being able to draw on suitable figures from the main Hundred Years War range. The listings for these three sub ranges given here are taken from Vintage 20mil - I don't have any original catalogues with them listed. The first of these three sub ranges covered crecy and comprised 6 foot and 4 mounted figures.
