"Prepare you, Lords, for Edward is at hand, ready to fight."

Its back to the Bard's blessed words for this post. In between working on each Retinue, usually around 24 figures, I like to intersperse smaller figure groups. The previous post featured the Bills of Sir John Savage, stiffened by the man himself and a couple of MAA for a total of 11 figures. This time its a base of 8 figures for Edward IV and his Household, getting down and dirty in the action leading his troops ~

The figures are from Perry Miniatures supplemented by a lonely Crusader Miniatures figure, as I wanted Edward IV to have both his Standard and an heraldic Banner so he would stand out on the tabletop battlefield. [The Royal Standard will be on the Yorkist army command base, when I get around to that.] The flags are from Pete's Flags of course and the bases from Warbases as ever.

Next to roll off the painting desk after enduring its time under the Brush of Doom should be a light artillery piece and crew, from Wargames Foundry this time. Then it should be a mercenary pikes block, but that's a way ahead right now...
