Awesome, how many figures in total is that?

Have they got some Yorkist opponents?

A very nice spread  :-*

I am fascinated by how and why a Ukrainian becomes so deeply interested in the history and heraldry of medieval England...  :)

Wow, those have got to be your best yet! The Duke of York in particular has a really clean, neat paintjob - did you intentionally put more time into him due to his high ranking?

The second from left - is that a converted Steel Fist miniature, the one that originally has a raised fist, replacing the left arm with a plastic Perry arm? It works really well, I've got him waiting to be painted, I think I'm going to try the same conversion!!!!

Thanks friends! Yes, the Duke of York, I painted a little longer, all the same party leader! In general, I painted them for 2 days. Yes, second from left - is a Steel Fist miniature, but it's the hand of his home. ;) I "unscrewed" his hand and stuck it in a different position.

Sir John Touchet of Markeaton. Born in 1398. Married Elenor, ille¬gitimate daughter of Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent. 5th Baron Audley of Heleigh Castle. Chief Justice and Chamberlain of South Wales. Joint Commissioner of Array for Herefordshire in 1457 and 1458. Joint Commissioner to determine the provision of archers from Herefordshire, assessed at 130 for the county, in 1457. Killed commanding the Lancastrian army at the Battle of Blore Heath, 1459.





Awesome heraldry.  I've always struggled to achieve this and you have nailed it perfectly. Very impressed.
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

This whole thing is gorgeous and inspirational.

What is your experience with durability of the Perry plastics?  I have a growing collection but they've not been in more than a couple of games.
