Go for it. You could create something quite characterful for WotR minis with all the IW variations out there,

I am committing to the vignette and painting WOTR figures for the next month or so.

We will conduct a game at French Wargame Holidays here in France on the May 22-23 Weekend. Plan to fight a Never Mind the Bill hooks skirmish and Impetus large battle. Battles to be announced, but I am thinking 1st Saint Albans and then Tewksbury.

Put some more figures on the table this week into the painting line up to add to my collection.

Cheers
Matt

I too will commit to the vignette. Although the lockdown is easign here in Jersey it is yet to be determined if we will be able to meet to fight a battle. MOre on that as the easign proceeds.

I've had an idea for some time with respect to the vignette. I'm finishing off some command stands for some Hundred Years War (Never Mind the Billhooks rules). As soon as these are completed I'll get on it.

Cheers All,
Richard

We will be using our new (soon to be published) rule set - Test of Resolve Wars of the Roses

I have some ideas but nothing has reached the painting table as of yet.

I'd really like to have a go at getting some sort of conversions done and painted up  8)

It would be rude not to  :)

Great and thank you for the entry! Logged! Do you mind if we Tweet/Instagram the pictures and credit you as part of promo for remainder of competition - unless you are going to tweet yourself and we will RT?
