I have been exploring the role that local barons had in the 15th Century war and building a force to represent them for the game Never Mind the Billhooks

I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

Amazing paintwork all round! The freehand heraldry on the surcoats and banners is great, and that cloak is real top-notch work

Keep up the great work! Really great to read the research in the blog post too

Oh wow, hard to believe one could paint a cloak like that?  You are a superb painter, same goes for the rest of your stuff.
