Well, I have to leave these for a little while now, to think about the LPL themed entries instead  ;)

Meanwhile, here's another quick n' dirty conversion...

Just thought I'd see how easy it is to make these Perry plastics into dead people...

Not bad, I don't think  :)

Such fun...

Excellent work Cap'n.

Perfect for "disorder" markers or whatever. Affordable for something largely "peripheral" to most games too  :D

What! He was turning his back on the enemy when he got shot? Coward! ;)

Nice little conversion Captain :-*

Here are a few more shots of my latest Perry plastic Wars of the Roses figures - my team for last week's round of the LPL...

This is the retinue of Sir John Osney of the Manor of Outwood.









And here's the array so far - about half the box done  :)



And slightly closer...

The men-at-arms



The bills



The bows

Really nice Captain. Are all the command figures from the box show here? I mean what do you have left to build is it only regular billmen and bowmen?

Well, we'd expect nothing less than this level of gorgeousness! Great stuff, Richard.

I still think that the blue & orange standard looks like it has a giant bunch of celery as its heraldic device. In a good way though...

Well there are 4 'official' fully plate armoured command figures (with various arm and helmet options) included in each box. I have used three of the bodies here so far. But there are also several part-armoured bodies too - a couple of which I've used here. So I reckon you could get 8 'knightly' looking characters out of a box at a push. The rest would be bills / bows (plus conversions like sword and bucklermen and casualties). Next up, I'm going for a few low-grade peasant types...  ;)

Yes, it does a bit. More like broccoli I reckon though  :D

Very nice! Your earlier effort was enough to get me to order a box even though I had nothing else for the period. I painted up three and while not as nice as yours I was very pleased with the figures. I plan to pop one in the lineup every now and then as a pleasant diversion when I need a break from Napoleonics. So many thanks for that!
