28mm Wars of the Roses - Slow progress....

Hi All,

This is another side project that I've put another week or so of time into. Taken me about 2 years to get to this stage!

I've just finished 12 stands of mounted knights and thought it was enough for a decent group shot. Probably overkill on the mounted knights but they look pretty cool. Part of the process was replacing all the lances. Nothing sadder than seeing heavy knights with stumpy and bendy lances!

Most of the figures I've picked up second hand and repaired and repainted. I like the idea of reconditioning old figures and giving them new life. I particularly like the old Grenadier 'Fantasy Warriors' human range that fits WoTR really well. There are also some old Foundry/Citadel and Essex figures.

I need a few command stands and some more infantry and it should be enough for a modest Lancastrian army for 'To the Strongest' rules.

My trusty camera pooped itself after one photo so I had to use the phone camera for these...

Cheers,
Mick

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

28mm Albert and his bodyguards

Here is 'Fat Albert' (Abdul Fatimu) and his loyal bodyguards. Albert is a character in our on-going early medieval campaign and I have wanted to paint up his retinue for quite some time. I recently came across the GW minis for the guards which looked perfect and purchased them. I painted them this week and here they are guarding their master. Albert is a Reaper figure.

Some painted Minis

 

Here is a selection of minis that I have painted over the last few months. Above and below are some 20mm Minaron Spanish Civil War Nationalist infantry.

 

This is a 28-30mm early medieval mounted command group. The General is a Mithril mini (Theoden) and the standard bearer is the GW Lord of the Rings Aragorn. 

 

A really old Minfigs that I have had for several decades. I decided it was time I painted him. Quite a large figure, at least 28mm

 

An ugly brute - 25mm scale

 Found in a box of $1 unwanted minis. He is 25mm and painted up quite nicely. 

28mm HUSSITES

I have been wanting to paint up a Hussite army for a long time and have finally begun to do so. Here are the first figures I have finished. The figures are from the Kingmaker line sold by 1st Corps. The two casualties laid low by the Hussite 'ladies' are from Front Rank.

Peter the Hermit

Here is Peter the Hermit setting out on his epic journey to the Holy Land. The figures are Perry Miniatures.
