That is one helluva archer force, beautifully painted. How long has it taken you to paint that little lot?

I need a bigger shield and thicker armour.
Excellent work so nice to see big units for once, love the victim markers.

Best regards Michael

"Therefore I will be appealing to this forum for a recommended set of rules to use."

I heartily recommend the homegrown rules by our own Silent Invader as they worked very well on the larger scale game I had the joy to participate in at BLAM 2012.

Now show us the pics of ALL of them!  o_o :-*

Gents, thanks for the comments and recommendations. Am away at present, but will post some shots of the the heavy melee hand weapons boys when I return. There are some earlier shots of the Yorkists on another thread - Testing, testing, one, two three battles. And some work in progress on the Lancastrians (which I need to update) on the thread - Two glorious Lancastrian failures. These are on page 8 and 3 of this section respectively. Cheers.

You truly will be fighting in the shade with all that lot. I admire your perseverance. I am always in awe of people who can stick to a particular period and develop it to truly extraordinary lengths. I am too much of a flibbertigibbet, and like to flit from one period to another, and I recognise that it is only through sustained lengths of time spent on one period that you can achieve much. I salute you!
