I am looking at getting hold of some figures to be dismounted men-at-arms/gentry for my early Henrician army, but not sure what figures to use. No one (at least no-one making figures at the 15mm-to-eye scale) seems to do anything specifically tailored to this, so I have been looking at Wars of the Roses figures.
I am working on the idea that many noblemen and their retinues would still be in late-medieval gear at this point. I know that the armour known as Almain rivet was growing in popularity in England, but was largely imported, so I figured the men at arms might still be in older-styles. I have a load of Khurasan's 'Yeomen of the Guard' in the new style Almain rivet, but want a unit of more motley arms, armour and livery.
Anyway, perhaps someone knows if these figures look right for the job?
They're by Donnington.
Any other suggestions welcome, in case I've missed some!
