Robin of Sherwood
I am a really big fan of the old 80's ITV show Robin of Sherwood, for me it is the best Robin Hood series ever, nothing has come close to Richard Carpenters classic. it struck the right balance between history, realism, folklore and fantasy. It had a fantastic cast and wonderful settings. It is truly an inspiration for a gaming setting.
Conquest Games have had a small range of miniatures based around Robin of Sherwood for some time, recently they have been expanding the range which is great to see and that has inspired me to work towards running some games using Richard Carpenters Sherwood setting alongside my own Empire of the Scarlet Robe campaign. I already have a set of the 'Wolfshead' miniatures from Conquest painted up but nothing ready to go up against them, now though, I have made a start.
I recently picked up 8 foot knights from 1st Corps, four of which I painted as Knights of the Scarlet Robe, I posted a quick post about those a little while back in October. The remaining four I decided to paint up as the Sheriffs men to go up against Robin Hood and his band of outlaws. This is the result.
They are fine figures and will add some variety to the Conquest Games Norman figures which are in their Robin of Sherwood range. I still need to add a few more figures to the Sheriffs Men before I can get a game underway but I am certainly happy with these minis as a starting point.
