About the Project
I have hit the age where I am far more interested in historical miniatures than I used to be. I have several different games I'd like to play but I'm currently building out a few forces for the Barons' War. I hope discussing the project here will keep me motivated as there isn't a big community of players near where I live (Central North Carolina).

The Force So Far
I started my force almost by mistake several months ago. I’ve been enjoying Rangers of Shadow Deep and wanted an excuse to purchase some new miniatures. That led me to the Foot Knights from Wargames Atlantic. Once they arrived I wanted to know more about The Barons’ War. It checked many of my boxes: Skirmish, historical, D10s, artistic freedom! I’m not going to perfectly historically accurate, but at least generally so.
The kit has been a lot of fun to work with and I’m continuing to build out my force. Initially I looked up a starter army which Warhost was all to happy to provide.
My goal is:
- 4 foot knights with shields and swords
- 4 mounted knights with shields and swords
- 6 sergeants with falcons
- 8 spear men
- 8 archers
From there I’ll likely build a duplicate force so a friend can drop in and play without needing to do the hobby part.
If anyone is in Central North Carolina, please do reach out! I’m looking to meet up with some other wargamers who are into historical games.
Here is what I have so far.
They aren’t quite to what the goal is now. At first I was just making what was fun. Still, progress is being made!
I have one foot knight with a sword, two spear men, and three archers.
