Command Stand #3

Well, things have not gone entirely to plan here in GHQ since I last made a blog posting. Not for any unpleasant reasons I'm pleased to report, but more due to being out and about in a fine Autumn spell of weather. The outcome in Hobby terms has been only one of the two planned Command stands being completed. So, no more blathering on, here it is ~

The mounted figure representing the Duke of Norfolk is supported by two standard bearers and two foot knights. All are from Perry Miniatures of course, with the standard and personal Heraldic banner from Pete's Flags and the base from Warbases of course. Here he is one the tabletop in GHQ taking command of his Ward ~

The previously mentioned fourth Command stand is now under the Brush of Doom so distractions permitting it should be completed over the weekend. A few more figures are ordered, but not yet delivered, despite the usurous P&P rates the Perrys charge! Over the winter season they will fill out the Retinues purchased at The Other Partizan recently. Next up though are the Claymore Castings archers sculpted by Matt. I hope my modest efforts will do these exquisite figures the justice they deserve...

    1. Flags hide a multitude of errors by distracting the eye!
