A little (ahem) late but these Scots spear from eBob look fantastic (see below):
Beautiful figures, with great character, I am already looking forward to painting them, the above picture does not do them justice, so try this (see below):
Time to take the brushes for a walk!

Bannockburn 1314 Visitor Centre - 3D Computerised Battle Game Experience
And it came to pass that my Scottish in-laws took it upon themselves to take their English son-in-law to Bannockburn. Are they trying to tell me something? That they know how much of a "Big Kid" I am and how much I was going to enjoy myself in a "Time Commanders" style battle re-enactment with virtual troops.
As luck would have it I (the Englishman) was posted to the Scottish Army with my daughter. My Scottish wife and mother-in-law along with my two sons were playing the English. A tad ironic ;) as I stood in line next to no other than Robert the Bruce, played by a nine year old little (Scottish) girl (see below):
Suffice it to say that I had a whale of a time, though I must confess to mixed emotions as on Day 2 of the battle my unit of Scottish bow felled the English king (Edward II) and won the game. However as I left the Battle Room I felt elated, pondering but one question 15mm or 25/28mm?
