Well, here we are then, at last some might say under their breath, the very last of the metal figures dredged up from my Lead Pimple for the Wars of the Roses project. They are three Perry Miniatures standard bearers which I have repurposed into a small command vignette for the Burgundian mercenaries serving in the Yorkist cause ~
The central figure with raised sword needs no fiddling to pass as Jean the Timid, as their commander will be known to posterity, while simply adding a war axe from the Agincourt range to a second makes a passably posed MAA, leaving the third figure as intended to bear the Standard. The Standard I sourced after a Web search for Burgundian flags and banners; it was labelled as a Company Standard, but it will do for me as Jean's personal Standard! They are merely 'Toys in a game' you should remember. Now, unless I order any more figures, that is that! I still have no firm ideas for what to tackle next and nothing prepped for painting either. It's a most odd feeling I have to confess...
A fine flourish to the "finish" line. A man who knows where is bread is buttered (he thinks hopefully)
ReplyDeleteI think it is done as a project bar a base for Henry Tudor.
DeleteGreat looking command base!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal, much appreciated.
DeleteNice idea to go for a continental command base. I can’t believe how this project has reached fruition in what seems double quick time!
ReplyDeleteSplendid work on this command base David, and I do love his name, which will probably come to haunt him on the table top! 'Toys on the table' is something we should all bear in mind each time meet upon the field of Mars, as afterall, it is only a game. As Norm has mentioned above, you've finished this project off so quickly and to your usual wonderful standard. What next? Well we'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure it will be fun. KBO.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching your goal and finishing all your stock of figures for this period. As you seem to enjoy narrative bases and don't have a project in mind, you could consider a small vignetter for it's own sake - as a couple of suggestions of the kind of thing that springs to mind:
ReplyDeletePerry Miniatures set for the film The Duellists based on the Joseph Conrad short story.
Empress Miniatures in their GAPS range have a Gandamak set based on the famous painting.
I look forward to seeing what inspires you next.

A lovely little command base, great use of your last figures. As Norm mentioned you have really powered your way through this project at a cracking pace.
ReplyDeleteGreat work again David I have genuinely lost count of your WotR command stands ! As to what’s next I’m sure something will catch your eye. I can still offer to send you some of my lead pile !
