About the Project
After reliving those saturday evenings from my child hood watching episodes of Robin of Sherwood I got curious about doing a Robin Hood game. As a Nottingham local I've had a love hate relationship with the legend. Loved it as a kid and hated it as an adult because I had to talk to tourists in the worse costume imaginanable. Now I've gone back to loving it thanks to the Robin of Sherwood TV series. The Clannad theme the wonderful hair, Ray winstons cockney wood dweller and the amazing amount of guards who get butchered every episode. This should be a small project but an enjoyable one for me and a break from the norm.

The sheriff's men
Guy if Gisborne leading my warband. To he thing I enjoyed most with this project was the basing if the minis
Villains
A bit more work on the blue robes of the Norman guards. Mix of contrast and conventional paints
HeraldyThe Sheriffs Men
Finally picked up some villains for the outlaws to fight. In the TV show being a guard for the sheriff of Nottingham was a dangerous career as they died in droves. I have 3 with crossbows and 3 with swords and shields. I also have a captain and Guy of Gisborn. The Sheriff Im not sure ill use as a leader but as an objective as he usually weasels his way out of actual combat. I will try and stick to the show for colour inspirations and shield designs.
One day before retirementPainted outlaws
Busy day painting these up. Spent more time on the bases than usual. Had to get them out in the garden
Rules?
I have previously played Ospreys EnGarde rules with musketeers again using the opportunity to recreate films from my youth. It worked for the musketeers so should work for the merry men. So instead of the cardinals guard I'll need some Norman's.
Redoubt miniatures
TV Inspiration
Going to base my colour schemes on the tv characters not including the actor who played the original Boba Fett squatting at the front here.Merry men
It was finding out that conquest games do robin hood range that got me interested as they do minis that resemble the characters from the show.
Not bad little minis.
Ready for painting.
