Very good focus on the differences. I somewhere read, that the equipment of the normal footsoldiers didn´t change much from the 12th until the15th century. These minatures are a good example for that.
Thank my friend! Yes that was my aim to show and explain that the bigger part of the army looked almost the same with maybe the odd part of a plate armour they would salvage after a battle and use. It would be a good subject for a chat for sure! Thank you for watching my friend!
Thank you Dear Lionheart! I think this comparison helps many friends who follow the channel decide what they like, it is good to see them side by side understand the differences. Thank you for watching my friend!
What is your favourite period? In some ways the infantry don't really change much? The reduction in the use of shields seems to be the main difference.
Hi John long time no speak my friend! As i mention in the video at some point although i love all let us say periods of the HYW i have a soft spot for the Early part...Characters- Battles and the Claymore miniatures i think turn the scale.. a bit not much...Yes with both your points i agree and i think that was the case! Thank you for watching my friend!
My army is based on the Company of English and Germans (aka the white Company) so after Poitiers . For armies based on things that happen between Poitiers and Agincourt you can combine things. so for example the wealthier mercenaries in my army are Perry agincourt miniatures but the squire in their lance is often a earlier a war games Atlantic foot knight from their 1150-1320 line with a head swap for a more contemporary to the late 1300's helmet.
Sounds like a great combination dear Aaron and I am sure the bases look very realistic and have great variety! Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas my friend!
Very educational Nik! I love these kinds of videos. You always do a great job parting this knowledge off to us. Thank you for that! I have a soft spot for the early Hundred Years War. I find the battles of Crecy and Poitiers speak to me more than say Agincourt does. I am reading Bernard Cornwell's Grail trilogy and they are about to fight the battle of Crecy.
Thank you dear Nordic! Yes we both are funs of the early part..;) Great book the battle of Crecy is described so well you feel you are on the battlefield! Thank you for watching my friend!
Thank you dear Jim! Yes i thought that seeing them in parallels would be interesting understanding the development of the armour and weapons within only a few decades..
Almost certain there would be a mix of both! Armour was expensive, I would suggest it was passed down, father to son example. Archers would of course take anything they found from the dead, including chainmail.
yes you are correct Henry many knights used their fathers armour. Not all the knights and nobles could afford the latest Italian armor except the really high ranked ones... Thank you for watching my friend!
You are correct Aaron I remember I read the same tha even in the early part of the war they had Breastplates as part of a partial plate armour. Thank you for watching my friend!
Great primer on the differences between Early and Late periods. Thanks for another exceptional informational video!
Thank you my friend! Yes I though so too. It would be interesting to see them side by side. Thank you for watching my friend!

Very interesting breakdown of different armours, and always nice to see your beautifully painted miniatures 👍

@@MedievalWargamer I have a feeling those Claymore miniatures have made an impact!
@@johnp4000 This is very true!!!😂😂😂😂
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you my friend!! Glad you enjoyed the comparison! Thank you for watching!
Enjoyable watch, Very interesting video my friend 😊.
Thank you dear Leon! Yes iIthough it would be interesting to see the differences between the two phases.

You are quite welcome. I definitely like the earlier period more than the later. Cornwell does do a great job describing battles. @@MedievalWargamer
Wonderful looking miniatures! And a great resource for comparing the periods. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you my friend glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching!
A nice introduction and comparison, with lovely figures!
Thank you dear Rob glad you enjoyed the video my friend!
Excellent and very interesting !
Thank you dear Ray glad you enjoyed the Early Vs Late faceoff my friend!
Very pretty. I would suggest you use a felt marker to colour the white edges that show on your standards,
Brilliant idea I will give it a shot! You have a good point my standards are not the best.. hahahaha Thank you for watching my friend!
Really interesting Nik. And some great looking figures on show too. What’s not to like. 🙂

Brigandine ie coat of plates would be okay for the early
You are correct Aaron I remember I read the same tha even in the early part of the war they had Breastplates as part of a partial plate armour. Thank you for watching my friend!
