Interestingly, the shooting longbowman on the front right of the line in this picture, is the very first Perry plastic WOTR figure I made and painted, waaaay back in January 2010

I also spy the figure with the pole arm and sword that you did a painting demo for on the Steve Dean forum.

Simply lovely.

I just spend 1 hour re-visiting this thread and loved it.

Thanks Rui

Gosh, you have got a good memory

Yes, that figure must be more than 10 years old now as well

Still looking fresh as daisies though

It’s good to get them back into action!

Got several more new ones to come, and a few more in progress. Verily this project is the gift that keeps on giving

I look forward to seeing those.

Totally gorgeous work

My copy of Billhooks arrived today and I look forward to trying the painting lessons out.

Thanks chaps

Next up, I've built and painted three more longbowmen, plus a man-at-arms with banner (from the very excellent Pete's Flags). Oh, and one more ribaud or pricker...

The cream and teal livery was originally for another of my fictitious local factions (it's a local conflict for local people) - Viz. Sir Gilbert Foyle of Crowhurst. But now I'm doubling these figures up into the retinue of the historical William Neville, Lord Fauconberg. Mainly because Pete has created some nice flags for said Lordship.

Like a plum, I've managed to get the livery colours the wrong way round on these new recruits (never go from memory, fool!) This was probably a hanging offence in the 1460-80s, but I'm damned if I'm painting them again

Believe it or not, the addition of these few figures (plus a bit of judicious repainting of a couple of older men-at-arms figures), allows me to field three more full size units for Billhooks. Including a full-strength eight man light cavalry squadron of scabby looking rascals available to the highest bidder.

That cavalryman is spectacular, wow!

Nice minis!

Once I get round to my Yorkists, Faconberg is top of my list. Nicely done sir!

Very, very nice

Just brilliant, and the idea of imagiretinues is even more ace

Brilliant stuff! An inspiration for all hobbyists!

Wonderful work!

Richard,

If you ever fancy some more variety, Eureka have just re-released a WoTR range that are perfect matches for the Perry chaps. Lovely sculpts they are too. I'm sure you would do a superb job with these.*

*No connection with Eureka, just a happy customer who happened to see these last time he was in the shop.
