Richard, Duke of York

Regular readers of the blog will know only too well that I've been working on adding two more Command stands to the Wars of the Roses project. The first of these features Richard, Duke of York, whose overweaning ambition to the throne of England may be said to have been one cause of the wars. The base features three mounted figures: Richard himself and two knights; one who bears his heraldic Banner and the other his personal Standard. The figures are from Perry Miniatures of course and the base from Warbases, while I sourced the two flags via a Web search. {I'm pretty sure the Standard was originally on a Perry Miniatures' flag sheet while the Banner looks like it might have been originally from Freezywater Publications?} Not a great deal more needs saying about these for now, so here they are ~

The figures for the second Command stand I mentioned at the start are already enduring their moment under the Brush of Doom too. That second base will comprise two mounted knights and one foot knight and will represent John Clifford, 9th Baron Clifford, "The Butcher". More to share of those before the weekend I would hope, all being well of course! 

Meanwhile here in GHQ the tabletop battlefield is all laid out ready for a return to action in Pendawar, pitting that stalwart British Gentleman, Lord Rawnsley, against the cunning and devious Typoo Byka, the Tiger of Pendawar! More on that too in due course.
