Great looking figures Richard. Did you hand-paint the flag and the little emblems on the figures? Thanks for sharing...
Regards,
Hitman

Your skill at applying the brush is always superb! The colors are always vibrant and lively! Thanks for showing these.

Thanks all.

Hitman, yes, the flags and livery badges are handpainted. The badges are rather tiny, hence very simple designs!

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard, Inspiring as always, but can you please tell me more about the grass you use and were does one purchase this grass. It really provides charm to the base and miniature.

Thanks,

Helen

Ooops - sorry Helen, nearly missed your question there...

I guess you're referring to the grass 'tuft' - it's made by Silflor, although Noch make them as well. They come in a variety of sizes and shades, and basically you just peel them off the backing sheet and stick 'em on (although I always use a spot of superglue, just to be on the safe side).

Not sure where you'd get them in the Antipodes, but someone's bound to sell them. I get mine from Antenociti here in the UK. Link to the catalogue pages below.

They aren't cheap, but used judiciously they do give a very nice effect, and a sheet of the things with a few hundred tufts on it will last for a long time!

The other 'grass' is just a mix of spring static grass and flock.

Very very beautiful painting! And the first time i see the miniatures too, they are very nice, even more so when you think of their plastic state...

Would you happen to know how well they would compare scalewise to Dark sword's GRRM line?

They would work perfect as henchmen to some of the heroes!

Thanks Richard very much on the reply. They do indeed provide that little extra effect that goes along way in the overall desire in which you are trying to achieve.

Thanks,

Helen

Super figures and fantastic painting as usual, Richard.

Nice figs Cap! The blue and orange look good together and the motley mixture of pants and jackets suits the era. Top shelf work on the banner as well. Good stuff all around!

A few more finished...

I'm now onto the retinue of Crowhurst.

First, Gilbert Foyle, Earl of Crowhurst.

I've done a minor conversion on Gilbert, having cannibalised another sword and buckler, to turn him into this pose (having had his poleaxe smashed earlier in the battle, he's resorting to good old-fashioned knightly measures...)

If the Perrys are out there listening (probably not) - one request - please, more bucklers in the next plastic set, plus a few spare assorted weapons? It really would hugely improve the conversion potential of these wonderful figures.

Next, a couple of the bowmen of Crowhurst...

Mak the Gormless...

Hal Fletcher...

And if you think Hal looks a bit gay, well he's meant to, since he's the Lord's catamite as well as his gamekeeper.

So here's the modest retinue of Crowhurst so far...

And finally, here's the array of East Surrey taking shape. Slightly bigger than actual size...

Wonderful. Swoon.

Magic, Capt'n!

War of the Roses doesn't seem to grab a lot of people, but I've always loved it. In fact I do believe I still have tons of the Foundry's figures hidden somewhere. I especially like the mounted knights.

What are you using as sources for painting the chaps up?

Plynkes · « **Reply #43 on:** January 24, 2010, 06:16:47 PM »

I used to love the WotR board game "Kingmaker." It would be so cool to play that game but fight the battles as tabletop wargames rather than using the game's own combat system. But someone else would have to paint all the figures. The period interests me, but somehow painting the figures for it does not appeal at all.

Great stuff, Blood.

Stunning brush work, you've got a very nice style, very fresh and crisp looking
