Wouldn't Henry have worn/borne the three lions of England quartered with France ancien?  The red and blue field with lions and fleur-de-lys would be splendid.

Not getting a clear look at His Royal Highness, but it almost appears that IS what he is wearing. ;->=

Three new views of Henry's tank. A rear view as well as the changes to the insignia. This will be the basic identifier for all the English Armor.
The flag is a place holder to get an idea how they'll look once I've gotten all the flags done.


Some discourse has been given as to whether or not Henry's uncle Exeter participated in the battle at all as historically it is written
he was given command of Harfleur after the siege. Why can't both be right?


Slightly more banal but necessary nonetheless, some French infantry.

Some wonderful contraptions there!

The back end of Henry's tank is very cool.

The tennis rackets insignia on Hank Cinq is a great touch!

Looking forward to seeing the French armour.

Thanks for the additional photos...I was interested in seeing the coal thingy. She & the Harfleur look FANTASTIC from any angle!

They do indeed look marvellous - both tanks, and the French infantry.

What's the back-story? Is it just the Hundred Years War 500 years late (or with technology 500 years early)? I see 'H - V' on the side of the tank there, so he's not Henry IX fighting in an alternative 1915...

Yes.

Kidding aside, either works. I had no plans for a complicated backstory. The concept came about as part of a VSF related correspondence that had me asking the question: "What if Margeruite de Valois had access to stargate technology?" Mr Foss of Flagship came up with "The Battle of Aginclank" and thus and thus...

French Cavalry on the painting table currently.

Here are some pictures of the first three French Knights. Each of these models mounts a light cannon as well as the jousting spar torpedo common to these machines.
They still need a bit of basing and some banners.
The plan is to have a baker's dozen for the game representing the major nobles and mounted knights.




Charles D'Albret, Constable of France and his mount: Coq d'acier


Loius, the Dauphin and Coq ni de l'esprit ni de la dent


The Duc D'Alencon and Coq de Tonnerre

What are the models for the French 'horses'?
