Ah,
sweet nostalgia... it was a simpler England, of a simpler time. Verdant
forests covered the countryside. Robber barons, beautiful maidens,
cheerful peasantry, Warhammer was still a thing. It was 1997.
These are Games Workshop's Bretonnian heroes Bertrand le Brigand, Gui le Gros, and Hugo le Petit. I will, of course, be using them for Robin Hood games. I believe they are Perry bros. sculpts. I picked them up at a bring-and-buy along with two squires.
Unfortunately, none of them look especially merry!
This is my first entry into the AHPC, it was really fun! If anyone can recommend a good source of similarly styled plastic figures to beef up my band it would be appreciated!

A perfect entry Barks, nice one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray!
DeleteI love these figures - the golden age of GW indeed and a smashing paint job to boot!
ReplyDeleteCheers very much, Tea Urn!
DeleteReally great figures
ReplyDeleteThanks, Martin!
DeleteA lovely piece of work!
ReplyDeleteGood on you, Fran!
DeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sander!
DeleteI'd love to own a set of these but I'm ambivalent at how much they cost these days :-) Lovely work Barks.
ReplyDeleteI picked these up at a very agreeable price, no complaints from me!
DeleteI have these figures lurking in my Bretonia box! (No where as nicely painted though).
ReplyDeleteI do like the flashy colours of Bretonnia.
DeleteWelcome to the Challenge Barks! A lovely first entry :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tamsun, it was fun!

DeleteWell done Barks. A very iconic set of figures there. Have you had a look at the Perry English Army 1415 etc or War of the Roses Infantry Plastic box sets?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll have a closer look at those, I am looking for a predominantly unarmoured warband.
DeleteWonderful work Sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Michael!
DeleteFab! I'd forgotten about these sculpt
ReplyDeleteDo they make you feel... nostalgic? :)
DeleteOoh they are nice
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dave!
DeleteI never could figure out why Warhammer Robin Hood was a Frenchman. Then Shrek comes along and also decides to run with this odd notion. Pure lunacy!
ReplyDeleteThat said, some very tidy work there, Barks!
I'm reclaiming them for Albion!
DeleteGood job, Barks! I never did get that set, but I still have a few squires and regular bowmen waiting the arrival of the infamous trio!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be hunting for more Merry Men to build the insurgency!
DeleteWell done indeed. Super scenic photos too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan, I thought they were worth it!
