Well, we have best kits, best lamellar, best weapons, inspire new folks Pennsic pics so how about your favorite melee pics?
I used to have a ton on my other computer, but unfortunately it crashed.
Share the wealth!

A picture showing my favorite weapons form, spear and two big guys with axes as back up.

You cant see shit in this picture, but it is my evil army of wretched villainy(on right) being crushed by Royalists (on left).

What a great day.

Here's me at Pennsic 36... front and center. I love this pic because the big guy in green behind me in the pic tried to bowl over the little guy (me) shield to shield... and failed.

The bend on Sir Angus' glaive is great here. For forward or back on the site and see more.

This is GW 05

I like this one. Something about one man pushing back a line with his spear is just really cool! (doesnt hurt that he has an awesome kit :wink:

)

This one is my favorite. Pennsic, 2003, field battle. I'm out there somewhere. My wife took this pic.

Large, but that's part of what makes it great.

My friends and I are the ones in attacking the troops in the foreground (we're wearing green/plaid and facing the camera).
I am on the far right.

Thank you for the new desktop.

Which one are you? :?:

posterity? You mean posterior. Why do you keep posting this pic of my rear end?

Thanks for that picture. Where did it come from?
I lived through that charge, thanks to my friend Michael, seen in the foreground with the polearm, who cleaned up behind me.

Bleddyn De Caldicot · Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:35 pm

My girlfriend's father took it. Here is another WAY cool one of you.

Just left of center, there's a guy in a bascinet with red leather gauntlets wielding a spear. Using his bascinet as an arrow

, look just above his head. He's 'pointing to' a guy in a blue & white tabard with a wavy diagonal division. Either him, or look a few fellows down that same line and you'll see that tabard again. I wager Louis is one of those blokes.

Lol, I like how this became a "Nissan Appreciation Thread". Great pictures, folks. Keep 'em coming.

Well, I am very pretty.

You're welcome.

Yup, Alejandro is correct - I'm one of the guys in the Cleftlands blue & white wavy nebuly. Somewhere - I'm not sure which one is me. You can see Sir Omarad herding us to where we need to be.

The fellow with the spear in Nissan's face is another Cleftlander - Lothar de Normandie.

I made this little DeMotivator from an Ursus picture of the melee tourney at Pennsic 36. That'd be Baron Karl Meerstapa, OTC doing the dirty work.

As always I'm behind someone so I'm not readily visible. Either way, I like how this photo caught the unit I fight with running to the next bridge up to take advantage of the breakout that just happened.

Lord Drogo Rotaugen, of my home Barony of Fenix, is the one getting on the wrong end of the poleyn.

He thought that was hysterical when I showed him.

I absolutely love that pic, it looks like he's skipping along in a field of flowers, except that there is a battle going on and there's no flowers.

Excuse my ugly armour but this picture of AT war is one of my favourites. Just me...walking to battle.
