Captain Blood's Perry Mounted Men at Arms. P.156 Scots pike block painted

[Wellington Bonaparte]

As ever more beautiful minis from the Captain. Wish I'd gone down the sabot route with my WOTR forces, thought about it long and hard after seeing your bases last year but opted form multi bases for Hail Caesar. The good part is my GOT are all sabot based and in 6 12s so will be useful for NMTB. Just wish I could my painting goodenough to put on here 

[Captain Blood]

Excellent work as usual Richard, not sure about that green though 

Thanks Chris. Bit acidic isn’t it?

You’ve got to start somewhere. It’s probably better than you think

[Eric the Shed]

Hmmm... I think it’s roundabout 250 figures at present, Colin, maybe now pushing 300. I have a fair few more to do to bring all the retinues up to the requisite numbers of 12 foot / 8 mounted for ‘Billhooks’.

250 ? thats not really very many 

seriously impressive painting once again

I think you are just practising for when you paint up those green-skinned Vampires for Nick.
 

[Paul Richardson]

Very nice, Richard. Aren't those the colours of the Wimbledon tennis championships?

[Captain Blood]

Exactly so, Paul. Amongst other things. Purple and green - a classic colour combination

Here are the latest plastic creations - I decided to make a half strength unit of men-at-arms for Henry Tudor.
A modest amount of kitbashing, but mainly just judicious selection of parts and poses...

I already made a Henry Tudor and entourage back in the days of the first two Perry plastic medieval sets, but things have moved on a bit since then
I will re-use a couple of the originals I made, but for the additions, here's Henry (bareheaded) and four of his loyal adherents...

Pretty sure that long-haired head from the Foot Knights command frame is really meant to be Richard III, but it will serve just as well for his nemesis once I've given him mousy brown hair...
(It actually looks rather more like Charles Dance than either contender for the throne at Bosworth).





Actually, it wouldn't make a bad vignette... 

[Ray Rivers]

Nice job! 

Looking forward to see them painted. I'm sure you will not disappoint! 

[HappyChappy439]

Nice kitbashing!

I really like the standard bearer(?) body from the command frame with the poleaxe, it makes for a great pose!

The chap in the tabard dual wielding a war-hammer and mace got a chuckle out of me. Just the thought of a knight deciding that restraint and subtlety are for Yorkists, grabbing his flashiest gear so he can just go absolutely wild 

[ulverston]

This is one of my favourite threads ever... it just keeps delivering amazing painting, posing and bases. Thank you for sharing.

[Ogrob]

You always manage such excellent poses in your builds, natural yet dynamic. Well done again!

[NurgleHH]

Oh, Sir Richard, don't you thing your Henry Turdor looks a bit like a Woodstock-Hippie? I think it is a very progressiv interpretation of the King Henry the VII. in his wild years.

Turdor? What are you saying? 

Fab work Richard as ever- looking forward to seeing them painted up amigo 

[Jeff965]

As you know Richard hair really isn't my area of expertise 
However I'm sure by the time you've finished, the figure of Henry will be spot on. Brilliant work as always, cant wait to see them coloured in.

[NurgleHH]

It seem than the german correction is changing Tudor to Turdor. Hmm, Funny. I meant Tudor.
