Here are some close up shots of the two armies - well some of them anyway. Some of the figures are 40 year veterans
(that is originally purchased/painted by my brother in the early 1980s)
Note I had been working on this Crusader army for a while and was anxious to get them on the table, so some our still WIP, especially the bases & shields.

The Crusader Baggage train


Kings Richard & Robert
I know The Bruce has no business being here - but I like the figure, so I use him
