Still hanging these posts on the Bard's suitable quotations when I can you'll have noticed! The latest Retinue to muster into GHQ having passed under the brush of doom is that of William Neville, Lord Fauconberg. The figures are a mixture of Eureka Miniatures, Perry Miniatures- both metals and plaaaaastics - and hybrids based on Steel Fist Miniatures bodies. The Standard and Banners are from Pete's Flags and the bases from Warbases, who else ~
The Billmen are largely from the Perrys' European range, rather more active than the metals in their Wars of the Roses range to my mind.

Spot the plaaaaastic figure?
Eureka Miniatures bowmen. It seems to take me forever to get through these figures, it must be all the fiddly details.
Two Retinues completed for my Yorkists, two more to go! Next up though a unit of billmen and MAA in the service of Sir John Savage. Somewhat of a C15th
Dad's Army unit! Today though, a Crimean War game here in GHQ to blood my small French force of two infantry Brigades.
Great brushwork David.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Ray, thank you!
DeleteOnce more into the breach with another splendid unit with a finely blended mix of figures on the bases.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, most kind.
DeleteThey look lovely David!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christopher!
DeleteAnother great looking retinue, very nicely done, always like your basing, sets them off nicely.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased the basing is appreciated, it can be tricky for hand and eye!
DeleteCracking work as always David:)! I'm sure when you have enough units you will be able to put on a very pleasing game for us all too enjoy. Looking forward to seeing how the French fair in the first outing in the Crimea against those damned Roosians...
ReplyDeleteThanks SteveJ! The Crimean War game report may be ready tomorrow, I've just finished editing the pictures after Blogger rearranged the order!
