Wars of the Roses: project overview

A quick overview of my progress on the Wars of the Roses project. I've painted all of the figures below since the beginning of September and it has been one of the most enjoyable painting experiences of my hobby life. I still have several units to add. Winging my way from the UK are more Front Rank billmen and MaA figures and Irish from Crusader Miniatures and Antediluvian Miniatures.

The collection as a whole... 
four wards/retinues and a collection of extras (artillery, kern, etc).

Ward/Retinue #1: 
2 x archers; 1 x billmen
(Front Rank figures)

Ward/Retinue #2:
1 x archers; 2 x billmen 
(Front Rank figures)

Ward/Retinue #3:
1 x archers; 1 x men-at-arms; 2 CinCs... one Yorkist, one Lancastrian
(Front Rank figures)

Ward/Retinue #4:
2 x pikemen; 1 x handgunners (I've since added another unit of handgunners)
(Front Rank figures)

extras:
2 x artillery; 1 x archers; 2 x kern
(Front Rank & Gripping Beast figures)

  1. Lovely job and a goodly number in the time. Nice to hear that the painting brought so much pleasure - it shows in the results.
