Thank you, Les...

Indeed, this period of Breton History, before it became part of the kingdom of France, is really interesting...

I am watching the videos, now...  ;)

As promised, the Clifford retinue. I thought it was worth doing from a couple of angles as this is the closest I have to a freshly painted all PP retinue including some new billmen. Only the figure with the square banner is an old Minifig's.

Very nice, Andy, and worthwhile seeing from several angles.

I wouldn't want to tangle with that bunch of ruffians!

The poorer (Welsh) archers arrived with my brother. I am considering mixing them with some of the levy archers to produce a base of predominantly Welsh archers, such as the troops who turned up late for the battle of Edgecote. I think an advantage when shooting and a disadvantage in melee may work well, given the way I base my figures.

This "whole unit" approach works well Andy.
Maybe a D6 to show how many deaths they have suffered?

Don't know how I missed this last post. In the above photo you can see the dice holder where I do use a dice to record losses. Each base in a normal game, i.e. a four base unit, can sustain 2 casualties. Thus I use a D6 for 3 half bases. When a unit reaches only one base left it is automatically removed in Bloody Barons, thus I do not need a D8.
