It has been a thin time for getting figures painted recently-.Work has seen to that . Busy busy and YES gentle reader after a day filling orders and casting and sundry other toy soldier related jobs you get sick of the little lead gits so often do not feel like picking up a paintbrush to finish off some of your own gear.
However here are a few pics of some recently finished- and some re based- 40mm Wars of the Roses. Eagle eyed readers may note that I recently added 6 new figures to this range. 2 Archers and 4 more Men- at Arms- the latter fully plated up so to speak so that the range now has around 30 different figures in it.

I now have around 70 of the models finished with more to come- but around half still need re- basing on those natty wooden bases from Warbases- the ones he does not call "Flames of War" bases at all no indeed. I don't use 'em for that popular but patronising rule set anyhow so don't care.

More men under the Percy banner,

As usual I don't make armies- or even smaller forces to fit rule sets as this narrows and limits possibilities within a given period. Period being far far more important than the opinions of a rule writer- unless on those rare occasions when he knows his period. So I'm looking at Tony Clipsom's set "Foray" here though the easy option of Lion Rampart- medieval free medievals may get used for a quick simple and possibly brain free starting point.

As for other happenings - well Salute beckons so I doubt I'll get much more painting done soon.. Ah well if you can't take a joke ......
Those figures are looking pretty good. Are they available commercially?
ReplyDeleteDan Yes they are
