Hi all
I have been working on a 15mm Wars of the Roses project lately and I have decided it is at a point where I can stick up a few photos. Please excuse the quality, I know they're not great.
The minis will hopefully be used for Lion Rampant, I have shamelessly copied Dalauppror's multi-basing system for this rule set as I think I might go mad trying to move around so many individually based 15mm minis.
The majority of infantry are Peter Pig and are lovely figures, the cavalry and horses are Essex and are again great and mix very nicely together. The carts are Hallmark I believe but with Essex gee gees.
I have (hopefully) painted them in the retinue of Warwick, which basically just means red. There is a LOT of red.
Men at Arms
Sergeants #1
Sergeants #2
Archers
Mounted Yeomanry/Mounted Sergeants
Bidowers
I decided to use handgunners for these as I thought that they would add to the period flavour. Painted in Burgundian livery, although I'm not entirely convinced that this would be what they were wearing.
Some dead 'uns for disorder markers
Whilst I know there are no rules for banners but I had some figures so decided to have a crack at painting them. My thought being that if I chose to use any units as 'expert' I could swap out one singly based figure and switch in a banner to make it obvious at a glance across the table.
Some scenics
I'll use these as objectives for some of the scenarios. I tried to keep the based carts as generic as possible so I can use them with other projects or periods. To add a bit of WOTR theming I added this stand:
In my mind the forces of Warwick are escorting some supplies and Edward IV's man is having words.
Finally a group shot
The whole force there plus a few bits that I am currently working on.
I have another unit of Archers and another unit of Men at Arms to complete. This should give me a fairly comprehensive bank of figures to draw from. I'm also probably going to get a unit of Mounted Men at Arms to finish off.
Then I may carry on getting other useful bits and pieces, scenery, terrain, objective markers etc. with the hopes of playing a small campaign later in the year.
Comments and criticisms are always welcome.
