"Give fyre!"

A quick post today as I've added a light gun and crew to my Lancastrian force. It's from Perry Miniatures as is, straight from the blister pack. The figures were fine, as were most of the gun parts, though the double arc was beyond my hands and eyes as you can see ~

For the Yorkist force I've gone for a far simpler assembly using a Wargames Foundry gun and their Medieval gun crew. I know my limitations when it comes to modelling, only too well...
I started painting for this small project 28 days ago {at the time of writing this post}, three of which were spent in Herefordshire with Matt and family. So 25 days when I had at least some time at the painting table available produced these units for the Lancastrian cause to date. A fourth Retinue is almost done now and I still have to tackle a second base of Burgundian Handgunners.  That will leave two bases of Mounted MAA, and some Command stands in the Lead Pimple, but before tackling those though I thought I'd make a start of some figures for the Yorkist cause.
