Medieval Peasants

"The courage of those who work the land is born of long days of labor in the hot summer sun and the cold winter wind. It is the courage of the Earth itself." - MTG 'Yoked Ox' card
I've long wanted some ordinary European peasant type figures, and I saw these "Agricola" board game figures at the store I knew they were perfect!
There's a man carrying gourds, a woman with grain and a baby, a boy chopping wood, a woman feeding ducks (my favorite!), and a brewer or cider maker carrying a barrel. All salt of the earth types suitable to be bystanders or helpful NPCs in a fantasy game.
I actually speed painted these, they were finished in about six hours after I came home from the shop. The simple quality reflects this, but it suits them.
Lovely stuff, I do like having civilians and vignettes on the tabletop.

DeleteReally lovely. Noncombatants and NPC are so underrated in our games!
