The hermits

Second part of April's entry to the OWAC, I've used some flagellants, initially bought for my Pfeildorf army, to build a regiment of gunners, inspired from John Blanche's illustration you can find in the artbook "Blood on the Reik".

Gerontius, the Blind Priest (Blood on the Reik)
I wish I could produce something like Gerontius, the blind priest, but my sculpting talents being what they are, meaning inexistant, I've simply trimmed down some details, removed the flails and the clubs, and glued some bits from the Empire handgunners and free company boxes. Et voilà!


Fear the wild bunch!

For whom the bell thunders

For the fourth month of the OWAC, my initial plan was to paint a small regiment of beggars (counting as flagellants) following Pieter the Pious... until I see on the web the cannon model released by Lead Adventure Miniatures for the Bruegelburg range: the "Death-Bell" (reference BRU-62) couldn't be a better fit for my pilgrim army!
 




To crew this warmachine, I've picked old Citadel models designed by the Perrys. You can still find them on the Wargames Foundry webstore (reference MED314 - Feudal Artillery Crew).

Godfrey (C22 - Gunner)
Hugh (C22 - Loader)
Wart (C22 - Crewman)
As I was missing a few points, I decided to strengthen the crew with a bombardier, a monk more keen on studying ballistics than praying.

The remaining 90 points arrive soon!
