What excellent brushwork - I am very impressed by this and your earlier photos! :o

And we have had a lot of fun with Crown of Paper/Coat of Steel.  It is different from other systems we have played, but it gives a great feel for the period and has produced some nerve-wracking games hinging on a few critical decisions.

Thank you. Yes, the system is very much like its atmosphere.(Y) We have already played the first campaign, it remains decisive battle.

Holy Cow!!!  That is some excellent brushwork on both Pembroke and Buckingham.  Whilst I will never be able to paint so cleanly (and so small) you provide some marvellous inspiration for the rest of us mere mortals. 

I endorse your choice of wargames rules. The COP/COS system from The Perfect Captain gives an amazing WotR game experience.  It also provides detailed heraldry and background on each character.

Very nice!  :)

The heraldry is ridiculously good - makes my head hurt just thinking about how it was achieved.  o_o

6 cm x 4 cm, but will likely move to the standard 4 cm x 4 cm
