Gilbert de Umfraville's scurriers

Postby janner » Sun Feb 26, 2012 11:02 am

A small unit of nine light horse with full command. Given that my army is based on the Advance Guard from the march to Calais in 1415, I went for Gilbert de Umfraville's livery (to match a unit of dismounted archers under the good 'earl of Kyme' himself).

Image

One figure type was scupted with a crossbow windless. So that obviously had to go and has been replaced by a longbow - well some brass rod wrapped in paper. Gilbert is listed as having 20 men-at-arms and 90 horsed archers at the start of the campaign. Now arguably this definition was possibly driven by how much they were paid and, as no mounted scouts are listed, I think it's reasonable to argue that some of those mounted archers were actually hobilars or scurriers - especially given some of the Umfraville family estates were up on the Scots borders.

These may well also be facing some of the lovely new Claymore Castings' Scots in due course ;)

The buildings in the background are from the Grand Manner Dark Ages range, but are fine for rural France c. 1415.

Really great models and superb work on the wrapped bows. Damn servants of the devil!

Great minis and innovative work on that wrapped bow - nicely done!
Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?
