....will be led by this rather splendid Essex Bishop. I've never really been keen on Essex figures (not even back when they were fashionable) - they are decent, solid wargaming miniatures but they lack the drama and realistic human proportions that i find most appealing. That said, the (unknown) artist that created this vignette has done such a good job that i am willing to overlook the huge heads. I like it so much i found myself browsing the Essex Crusades range the other day...oh dear....must focus....focus.....[sadly i think for me Focus will never be more than a dodgy Dutch prog band].
BTW, is it just me, or does the standard bearer scream 'Monty Python'....?

That's definitely John Cleese on the right - now if you just swopped the horse for a couple of half coconuts we're away...

Did you also manage to get the "knights who say-NI!". And as for swallows (African or European?) I do not know of any manufacturer!

Gents,
After extensive research i have come to the conclusion that the standard bearer has to be Terry Jones (it's the 'tache). The other guy on foot reminds me of Gilliam -but then so do most Essex figures..
I'll have to check the Willie range for a convincing Cleese (thin and gangly - did Cleese model for Ted Suren?).
cheers.
