It's worked.

Lovely painting and shading on that armour. The bases seem a little plain - but on the table I guess it'll blend in.

What size bases are they and where they from?

Nice painting. Are they meant to be any specific liveries or just what looks nice?

Thank you Major B the mercenarys at the top are made up. The blue bows and bills are for use as the Liverie of Thomas Talbot. Red seem to have been quite popular; the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Warwick, Sir William stanly and the city of Canterbury. Of these I find the Earl of Warwick most interesting. I realise I am no Captin Blood so that's why I don't paint any badges on the coats and steer clear of split colours.

Well it's an effective, tidy style, and looks good. I really like the boldness of the approach. It's not finicky and detailed, but truthfully, the figures are so nice, that under a straightforward, neat paintjob like this, they really speak for themselves.
Look forward to seeing more  :)

Quick and simple, very Nicely done. And if you're worried a out confusion. About units on the table just add some banners too a stand or two denoting who which side they are this week.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Wow, very smart!

This is the first time I've seen these Perry miniatures formed up for battle in large numbers so neatly, and it's very inspiring!
