‘Orrible Little Men - Medieval

[KarwickWingmaker]

Hey all, starting a brand new pair of Wars of the Roses armies.

Here’s the first few in the blue/white livery, not decided whether they’re Yorkist, Lancastrian or neither yet haha!


Starting off with what I’m imagining to be a mercenary captain, the lighting is a bit rubbish but he wears gold armour:


He’s accompanied by some Men at Arms:


Here they are together:


And a cannon for good measure:

Off to a great start.

[Basementboy]

Seconded! Love the blue and white as well, very striking.

[KarwickWingmaker]

Thanks for the kind responses!

Here is a captain of the cavalry for the opposing army

Haszaa! They look great.

Excellent work, they look great! That green of the tufts really add some extra life to the lads. They came out great. The cavalry captain is particular cool, who makes that fig, Perry?

[KarwickWingmaker]

Thanks!

Yeah the cavalry Captain is a plastic Perry Miniatures mounted Man at Arms

[Wellington Bonaparte]

Some lovely painting there, have to restart my mojo for some WOTR painting having seen these!

[Atheling]

Nice work. 

[KarwickWingmaker]

Thanks for the kind responses! It definitely helps to keep motivated with the project

Here’s an Artillery Arc of Fire template



Here it is in position




And here are two Army Morale trackers for my rules system “Battles Through Time”

Thanks!

Wow, nice work! I have to play around with that box some day for sure.

Here are four "Attendants". Attendants in my rules set accompany the Characters (such as Army Leaders and Captains) to extend their ability to keep their men from fleeing the field, while also laying down their lives before the Character they are accompanying takes any wounds.

Battle Report 1 – The Attack on Wooldale

This is part of a solo campaign I have begun. The Red and Black liveried forces under Richard Firth are attacking the village of Wooldale, defended by the Blue and White liveried forces under Anthony Evans.

* * * * *

Part One – The Opening Engagement





Firth's men march along the road from the south, having left Oakhurst that morning.
Evans' men, having rested in Middleslea, left the road that enters Wooldale from the East to spread out across the field to the north of the Village.




A small group of Evans' archers look out at their enemy advancing toward the village.



Cannon fire from both sides rings in the ears of the men as they march toward their enemy.






Both armies press onto the centre of the village, with Firth's cavalry being denied the open ground in which to manoeuvre if they are to avoid being shot by the enemy's cannon and archers.




A small body of Firth's Men at Arms head into a wooded area to avoid the worst of the archery duel, while advancing upon their enemy.
