Crossbowmen #16 and #17

This time, two models designed by the Perry brothers. I've got them for more than 20 years, but I've never been able to paint them, mainly because of their (ugly) plastic weapons.

Thanks to Stone Cold Lead, I've discovered that Wargames Foundry produces metal crossbows (you have to ask them, it's not visible on their website): for 5 pounds (plus shipping cost), you'll receive a pack of 16 weapons. And as you can see, they work pretty well with Citadel minis:

    The crossbows are spot on and much more realistic than the old black ones. Brilliant metal work as always, I really tried to imitate your light brushwork style on some dwarfs of my own recently, I'm always back here for reference, thanks man, they look beautiful :)
