Very nice, Steve. I like those very much, and you've come up with a couple of great new poses there which I shall have to nick!  :D
Especially like the added arrows. Might have to nick that too  ;)

Really nice job, mate, the livery colours have come out really well.  :-*

If I were to be hyper critical, it looks like you've painted the brigandines on two of them as plate armour (third archer from the left, fourth billman) when they should be cloth with metal studs. But that really is a tiny thing and only stands out to me because I nearly went crosseyed picking all the studs out on my own. They still look awesome.  8)

Though I recall reading somewhere that the Yorkists didn't actually garner much support from Yorkshire. 

Miserable buggers, that's why  lol ;)

cheers

Kind of makes sense when you think that the Duke of Devonshire is actually in Derbyshire  :D

It is all a bit odd... The Lancastrian's main power base was Yorkshire, Northumberland and Cumbria, while the first Duke of York's main holdings were in Shropshire and the Welsh Marches. The Duke of Exeter's lands were mainly in the North-East too. Only the Earls of Devon, Warwick and the Duke of Somerset seem to have had vast estates in the areas they drew their titles from. Kent, Essex, East Anglia and London were strongly Yorkist due to the concentration of nobles around there (the Bourchiers, Fitzalans and Mowbrays etc).
