Despite a steady stream of games and analyses, the painting desk is seeing some activity too. Some of that activity includes the first WSS French infantry to hit the painting desk. For today and in a return to increasing the Wars of the Roses numbers, out from the workbench is a 47-figure Battle of Richard Neville, Warwick/Salisbury.
Neville's Battle is arrayed in three battle lines, one each of archers, bill, and MAA. Figures are Perry Miniatures. Add one more fighting force to the project! One more Battle is currently under construction along with a few units from other projects. On the gaming front, Matt is joining in tomorrow for a remote rematch of our earlier Salem Church clash. I reckon will we swap sides and see if I can at least match Matt's performance. That is doubtful! Still waiting to find some time to chronicle that battle along with another Salem Church game with Vol. Seems I am running so far behind on the BatRep front I may never catch up!
Boo! Hiss!
ReplyDeleteSorry, the Nevilles were inveterate enemies of the Percy family; loyalty compels me to uphold the ancient feud - I wore the Percy badge for five years (Dukes Grammar School) and was brought up in the Percy heartlands so can't help but be biased!
Nice job (I suppose...) ☺☺☺☺☺
Neil
Thanks, I think! Ancient Grudge noted!
DeleteGreat work Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThat looks great Jonathan. The banner looks terrific as well. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence!
DeleteAwesome work Jonathan. A great addition to the collection.
ReplyDeleteWill they be hitting the gaming table soon?
Thank you, Ben! I cannot answer the question as to when these armies will next be out on table.
DeleteVery nicely done Jon, they look great, look forward to seeing how they do when they get their chance on the table top.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated! Stay tuned to see how they do in their inaugural battle.
DeleteGreat addition! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexey!
DeleteLooking great Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBeautifully done as always Jon:)! It reminds me of yet another project that has stalled and is hiding out of sight in one of the many drawers of shame;).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve! Many of us have stalled projects, I reckon.
DeleteA most splendid array of troops! Good luck at church.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Facing Matt, I always need some good luck.
DeleteSplendid work, Jonathan! That's a proper impressive array of Perry figures, and the banner looks grand. Good luck with the Salem Church rematch tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Andy
Thanks, Andy! This is a proper array of Perry figures, isn't it? I will need good luck against Matt!
DeleteNicely painted Jon. Love the flags too. You really do live a wargamers dream. How do you fit in sleeping and eating?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray! Maybe no dream but it keeps me busy. Sleep is optional...
DeleteSplendid addition to your War of the Roses project! Ive ended up with loads of painted War of the Roses from my nephew, not that we need them, I must get around to basing them!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Iain, if you have loads of painting figures, you might as well dive in and base them for a game. The hard work is already done.
DeleteNice work Jon I’ve been thinking quite a bit about WoTR pondering a future project.
ReplyDeleteA new WotR project for you? Tell us more!
DeleteStunning work, Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteRichard, you are most kind!
DeleteJonathan,,with all the painting, playing and poll analysis you have presented, a short delay on the battle reports is understandable. Especially when you have produced such neat units.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your encouragement, Joe!
DeleteYour Battles for WotR always look impressive Jon. This one does not disappoint either. Lovely work and your source for banners as always brings up your units to the next level.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your kind words, Dai! The banners for Neville were from two different sources.
DeleteWonderful - that is a goodly sized force (you are a painting demon!) and with another (similar?) on the way, plus with what you have already, your collection must be looking very impressive.
ReplyDeleteFor 28's, I am presently painting in batches of ..... Ten!
Norm, the collection size has already surpassed what is needed for most battles. The current number of Battles stands at ten with number eleven well on the way. Needed are more cavalry, handgunners, crossbow, and long spear/pike.
DeleteGreat looking figures even though they are enemies of the Percy's
ReplyDeleteThanks, Neil!
Deletevery nice indeed! I particularly like that dusty red/crimson colour you use, is it any particular shade or a mix?
