Anyone For Swiss &/Or Burgundians?

 After busting a gut, rebasing the HQ stands, artillery and adding flags to both armies, I've decided that I don't really want to expand my 15th century interest beyond the Wars Of The Roses.

To this end:

SELL/ SWAP 28mm Swiss & Burgundian Armies
 
I am interested in trading for the followingarmies in similar numbers, fully painted and of the same standard. Larger forces if plastic. 
 
28mm Imperial Roman
28mm Gallic or Ancient British
28mm Italian Wars 28mm 30YW
28mm Early Parliamentarian (ECW)
28mm Classical Indian
28mm Classical Greek
28mm Macedonian
 
Any of the above in 15mm but they will need to be significantly larger armies of course 
 
BURGUNDIAN - £1700 
 
The pike are all steel pins
The basing is wood 
 
The collection comprises: 
 
1 command vignette
24 Mounted Knights
32 Foot Knights
8 artillery pieces
24 crew
24 Longbowmen
48 Billmen
28 Handgunners
24 Crossbowmen
120 pikemen 
 










 
 
 
SWISS - £2500 
 
The pike are all steel pins
The basing is wood 
 
The collection comprises: 
 
3 command vignettes
20 Mounted Knights
12 Mounted Crossbowmen
35 Foot Knights
4 artillery pieces
20 crew
90 Billmen
30 Handgunners
30 Crossbowmen
240 Pikemen
 

 












 
BUY BOTH FOR £3400.00 
 
IDEALLY: Buyer must collect from Sheffield as I am not comfortable risking this stunning collection in the mail 
 
I will post but it's is not going to be cheap. It will have to be fully insured, and properly packed. 
 
I am also happy for the buyer to arrange for a 'man with a van'. 
 
The latter two are at the buyer's risk and if you choose postage or arrange for a van, you are accepting without exception that the odd weapon or flag may 'pop' during transit - easily repaired. 
 
YOU accept responsibility. 
 
I am happy for the payment to be made upon collection via cash, Paypal or bank transfer.

How, Over 40 Years Ago, A Guy Called Andy Changed My Life With 5 Words, And Other Reminiscences...

Image
 Of late I have been having long and vivid dreams wherein, I am often walking or travelling with people I have known, some living, some passed, talking over things we had done or said. I confess that it's been eerie but also very liberating. These coversations have been so real that I have awoken in the morning (more usually, half way through the night) and been confused at my surroundings.  Last night I was speaking with Dave Hoyles  - very much alive and kicking - of Q.T Models/Museum Miniatures. The only thing I have noticed is that is often been snowing heavily in these dreams. One of my latest dreams was of the late Ian Smith, another the comic book artist Paul Green - who, thankfully is still with us. This pattern began a few years ago when I had a similar experience with the recently deceased Pete 'Greblord' Armstrong. It was a very cathartic experience for me, as I had much which needed to be said. I may have written of this before, but this particular dream was d...

A Serious Post And Another Obituary But With Some More Positive Stuff At The End

Image
 I am at an age where I would expect the odd death of someone I know, but I am starting to realise that it's the younger end of the line which is getting culled.  This week I found out through a good friend that another friend in the hobby from the old days had taken his own life, bringing the total friends lost to 5 and drom that number the number lost to suicide in the last few years to 2. Now, I've been close to that I think, three times, but I've been lucky enough to be able to turn my illogical brain around and decide that the world and my enemies will not be happy if I thrive and stay alive. So, that has been my stated mission, to live long and be hated that much longer. The first time I was taken with thoughts of suicide, was when I was banned from Games Workshop Sheffield in the 80s (see my book or earlier posts) and my so-called friends allowed themselves to be bought off, trading silence as to what a set-up it was in return for part time jobs at the store. That wa...

The Passing Of A British Wargaming Legend

Image
It is with genuine sadness and heavy heart that I must record the passing of Sheffield Wargames Society founder member and long time Chairman, Steve Roberts.    I was 13 when I first met Steve (some 43 years ago, now). It was a chance meeting. I'd been playing Dungeons & Dragons for about a year and had taken some Citadel FTZ Zombies back to my Junior school to show my headteacher there, who'd always encouraged the creative arts in pupils.    He was impressed (as you'd expect) and told me that a wargames club met at the school now, on Monday nights run by a chap called Steve Roberts.    Well, of course I was interested, and together with my friend Alan Staniforth, I attended the club, to find there was no D&D...   What there was however were historical games, played by local kids with 'Big Steve' the only adult. But he ran that club like a champion, providing all the models and simple rules, which was just what you needed to hook kids in. ...
