Very cool.

The jacket on the standard bearer is a bit special!

I’m not sure if a head on a stick counts as a standard but you know which figure I mean.

It's ahead of their opponents for sure.

Good to see this project off the backburner.

Really really great vignettes

Thanks very much to all. Feels good to be back at this project, and I have got a few things on the go I hope to show to you soon.

Only recently found this thread, I'm really impressed with your work here, especially on the vignettes!

Did you find a stand-in model for our good friend Lambert Simnel? If not, as a suggestion, not sure if the "Scouring of the Shire" Hobbits might work as a base for a child-sized mounted figure in 28/25mm scale

Thank you very much. I am still looking for a Simnel. Arlequin gave a good suggestion some months ago of using a 15-20mm knight to represent him in children's armor, but I have yet to find one that is era-appropriate. I was even thinking of sculpting one - an idea that never got beyond the face. Hobbits are an interesting idea. I've been meaning to get some anyway, and when I do I will see if one can be converted.

At the moment I'm not working on a base, just paiting the lead that I have in the pile. Eventually when I have enough Irish I will start building the bases: one of kern, one of galloglass, and some skirmishers.

Some more men-at-arms who will be worked into a "reserve" base intended to use up my spare WotR miniatures.

And a bit of a diversion... HYW. Over the past months I've been painting these as a gift for my young nephew in California.

The English

The French

I speed-painted these, and some of them are sloppier than I prefer, but I'm fairly happy with the heraldry. I've been told that he likes them very much, but to my horror I also was told that he "doesn't know how to play with them and no one here can show him."

More to follow, and thanks for all your encouragement.

Sloppy though they may be they look great. I like the pattern on the coat of the fellow pointing in the last picture.

Good work Gangleri. Love the heraldry. Top job

Been working on a Christmas present for my nephew, HYW stuff again. Here it is.

French

More French

Now as for the Stoke Field project, this is the German vignette WIP. Been in the works for a long time because I couldn't get my hands on a suitable barrel until recently.

Picture isn't the best, but it's a few Continental mercenaries having a chat around the beer keg. Hope to have it painted soon.

That’s a great looking vignette. Nice modelling.

And I love the fact you’ve dropped Robin Hood into your HYW English force

I hope your nephew appreciates it

Thanks very much for the kind words

Here is the finished vignette

The pavise is copied from a tournament shield I saw in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The text on the original reads, in Mittelhochdeutsch, something like "Although I am the most hated of birds, I am quite content with it," the owl being taken as a bad omen at the time.

The men are enjoying some beakers of beer from the barrel before the fighting. On the barrelhead is a pack of cards, with a king taken from the Flanders Hunting Deck, which dates from around that time, though I forgot to make the cards oval rather than rectangular.

"Oh yeah? Well last weekend I caught a fish this big."

Some imperfections are apparent in the photos which I have since corrected.

Now on to more Irish.

Happy New Year to all.

Gangleri,

I've followed your project for ages its excellent and still gets better. Your kitbash Irish were an inspiration for me to try my hand at some gallowglass with GMhttp://28mmtowton.blogspot.com/2018/06/scottish-mercanaries-wip.html.

Nearly done and I'll post on the forum when they are. Im halfway through making Lord Dacre's fateful and possibly apocryphal pause for a drink a Towton, but I fear your Germans surpass my efforts. Keep up the good work.

Stuart
