Title: Parade time - wars of the Roses (even more)
Post by: max on December 24, 2012, 09:41:41 AM
I thought it was about time to get out my Wars of the Roses figures and see where i was standing.
So far, i have about 160, about a third not painted, with another 102 painting for assembly. I was inspired by Captain Blood and Silent Invader, and their games. I thought 'it would be so great to play a game that big'. Then i read 'about 200 figures on the table'; i have that myself! So one day maybe...

Anyway, here are the troops:
Henry Stafford's men

Nice collection there Max! I'm actually a Staffordshire ex-pat and used to drink in, amongst others, 'The Knot'.  ;)

Grand. And will look even grander when those last few are done too. I hope you'll post an update then.

Well if this is going to be a WOTR pub thread, I still do occasionally drink in the Cross.

Great collection taking shape there. Well done Max  :)
Love the chap carrying the lance on foot. Another great idea to pinch  ;)

An impressive collection - some very nice conversions too.
Look forward to seeing more.

There defienatly will be one, any even!

Feel free. I actually shamefully copied one of Silent Invaders the other day  ::)

The Mostons will be in green and black, with the badge as a head of wheat (or a flower, can't really tell it's so small). The Walker's badge will be a stag's head, and maybe a sort of brown for colours as i'm running out of nice ideas. Perhaps with a stripe across the chest  ???
