[Model] Perry Brothers New Bretonnian? Men-At-Arms & Archer Models
Decimal Dust
But for those who have longed like I have for a more medieval (well,
Agincourt specifically) rather than Arthurian look to their Bretonnians, the
Perry twins have designed/are designing some new new models.

These are OK.

I don't like these at all. The new GW plastics look better, IMO. Heavier and
darker, not like these.

Ah well, I think the GW archers are equal, but I don't understand how GW
lightly armoured men-at-arms could look heavier than these ones in full
plate armour with basinets. Which is the reason I will get some of these,
the army will look more medieval.

fully operating colour spectrum, but that's another thing.

will fit in nicely with the official metal ones the perrry brothers did for
4th/5th ed.

For someone who's always going on about how GW tanks don't look
'realistic', I'm stunned to see that you prefer the unrealistic looking
GW plastics over these very realistic looking models.

I like these - unlike the 6th Ed. peasant plastics these actually look right
for the period and have more variety in their poses than the similar WFB 5th
Ed. archers. As Sam says, they'd complement those figures quite nicely.

An improvement over the GW plastics, but the weapons look a little thick and
clumsy and I'm not sure about the full-face helms - overall I'd rather have 3rd
or 5th Ed. Warhammer Men-at-Arms.

Weren't you raving about the plastic archers before they came out?

I havent seen 3rd edition men at arms as I started playing the week 4th came
out and I don't remember ever seeing Bretonnian models for it. But I prefer
them to the 6th, although I do like the 5th edition halberdiers as well.
I very much like the vast majority of the Bretonnian models now, but the
problem with them for me is that GW can not make up their mind which era all
the troops should come from.
What I want to get is an Agincourt style English army look and I am
currently looking for an alternative army list including foot knights to
achieve this. That is why I like these men-at-arms, as they are in full
plate which was the order of the day for men-at-arms and knights and they
have no surcoats, which would be right apart from Henry V. The weapons I am
not fussed on, as I have plenty of axes and smashing weapons for minnor
conversions also.
Queue, posts about me playing the wrong game and finding one with medieval
armies instead :)

Thinking about it, I have a unit of mixed 5th metal and 6th plastic archers
which makes a very nice mix. The only major point for telling them apart is
the plastic longbows look better.
