Round 5 - Rhys ap Thomas 1485 vs. Archers d'Ordonnance

[Overlord]

[Baron von Wreckedoften]

Close, but the superior basing in the top photo won it for me.

[Captain Blood]

Happy days - a Perry Wars of the Roses face-off. How serendipitous 

Both nicely done 

For anyone interested in the bloody, Machiavellian career of Rhys ap Thomas, I recommend Dr Susan Fern's 'The man who killed Richard III'. A good read which tells you a lot more about the grisly, brutal, treacherous ins-and-outs of the period than any number of Ospreys 

[DivisMal]

Damn, another close one. I do like both and can’t really decide...

[AWu]

a lot more about the grisly, brutal, treacherous ins-and-outs of the period than any number of Ospreys 

To be fair Ospreys never told a lot about any period
They are more of a primer although sometimes with genre building illustrations of the giants like McBride.

But interesting book recommendations are always good thing.

Close, but the superior basing in the top photo won it for me.

That for me, plus a darker, more menacing atmosphere in the photo that suits the period.  But nothing that tells the paint jobs apart, both excellent.
