Real good paintjob, but I don't like the figure. What happened to the perrys? It's only GW plastic, and not fantastic...

Have had a snowbound weekend, which has allowed me to press on with a few more Wars of the Roses figures. These damnable little plastic chaps are so lovely that they have diverted me from my second batch of Zulus. Who'd have thought it...

First up, Roger de Brassey, Earl of Tandridge. (Any medievalists out there thinking of telling me that poleaxes didn't have decorated handles - see my face... does it look bovvered?  ;))



Another bowman...



Bloke with a big spear...



The retinue so far (don't worry - it will grow!)



And finally, not quite finished basing yet, but thought I'd show you my first stab at a conversion. In fact my first plastic conversion since I last modelled Tamiya figures 25 years ago!

I cannibalised one of the scabbarded swords and a sword and buckler, to make - well, a sword and bucklerman  :)

Thank you gentlemen  :)

Despite my reservation about fiddliness, I have to say these are simply superb figures. I think that what it is, is that these guys actually look like soldiers - tough, purposeful, natural poses. As opposed to the caricatures we're all rather accustomed to in most metal ranges - even the ones I like!  ::)

Splendid. You're right about the poses - the second bowman handling the quiver is brilliant, very natural.

Nice conversion too, but there's no way he'll be able to see to fight with that visor down !  ;)

The fruits of today's labours... Gradually building up the retinue  ;)

Ralph de Brassey, younger brother of Roger, Earl of Tandridge, and his personal banner carrier.



Then a couple of pole-armed ruffians...





And, for completeness, the retinue so far...



And finally, colour test for my second retinue, the Earl of Crowhurst's...



Stop me when you tire of these...

Hi Richard, Inspiring as always, but can you please tell me more about the grass you use and were does one purchase this grass. It really provides charm to the base and miniature.

Thanks,

Helen
