"The White company: Sir Nigel Loring" Topic

I've just finished reading the White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Can't believe I never read it as a kid, and happy to consume it now!

In honor of the story, and because I have some beautiful minis from Claymore Castings, I'm going to (slowly) do up a unit or three of the White Company. Not so much the historical unit, but the fictional characters in the book. Here's my first stand, with Sir Nigel Loring, one of the Leaders of the group that travels to France while Sir John Hawkwood, the main commander of the White Company is off with his part of the mercenary force in Italy.

Lorings Arms are 5 roses on a field of white. I've been schooled since I made this that the swallow tail pennon was more French than English, so I may have to redo the banner.
Now, to order some more English Longbow!

I listened to this on audiobooks about a year ago (whilst travelling to work & back) . Nice start to the company

Very nice work!

Back in the 1980's The Courier magazine had a game by the Washington Dc miniature group called " Division of loot" It had the Characters from the White company in it.

Brings back memories; I really liked those stories. There was a scene in which a young and naive Sir Nigel gets swindled (and doesn't even know it) by an unscrupulous merchant, and Doyle remarks that for the first time in history the "merchant" class rose above the "warrior" class (or something like that but more eloquently written).

Brilliant stories, very meticulously researched.

Thanks Gents- I'm glad that I'm not the only one out there with a love for this book and it's heroes.

Cheers
