"This brawl today...shall send, between the red rose and the white, a thousand souls to death and deadly night."

Since completing the second retinue for Warwick in my Wars of the Roses project my output of completed units has inevitably rather tailed off as I await delivery of some LBMS pavaise transfers from Victrix. So I thought I would set out the whole collection in a scenic setting on the tabletop battlefield here in GHQ in the hope that it may inspire me to set to with paint and brush, showing renewed vigor! As an aside I thought you dear reader might enjoy seeing them too. Firstly, my Yorkist force ~

Followed by my gallant Lancastrians ~

The collection utilises figures from a number of manufacturers: Eureka Miniatures, Perry Miniatures, Wargames Foundry, Steel Fist, Crusader Miniatures,  Athena Miniatures, a Partizan freebie, and Grenadier, via Ebay. The standards and banners are mostly by Pete's Flags, supplemented by Freezywater and one homegrown set! I had hoped to come across one or more of the Perry Plastic box sets' flag sheets, but no luck there. The bases are from Warbases of course.

Still queuing in the old Lead Pimple are two bases of mercenary crossbowmen - see above re pavaise transfers, another Light Artillery gun & crew, not forgetting my fantastical fripary and Vignette bases. That leaves me to tackle six bases of Knights/Mounted MAA, and two Army Command Stands. Phew! Luckily Phil is helping me with the mounted figures by painting the horses for me at "Mate's Rates"!!! So there you have it: not quite the thousand souls yet, but a decent number to be going on with... for now at any rate!
