"The Battle of Exeter 1483" Topic

Hello folks, I have updated my blog with my late War of the Roses project, all about the rebellion of the Duke of Buckingham in 1483.

I have included some pictures to wet your appetite.

You can go to my blog here – link

I will also keep this thread updated as progress continues.

Many thanks

Richard

Good job!

Orlock,

Now that you've based those figures – are you satisfied with the result of your basing concept?

I love your painting and most of all, that terrain is gorgeous. I'm very much into my terrain these days and I think it absolutely 'makes' the game.

Good question @ Unlucky General. It has been a real journey for me to get this point with regard to the basing. Originally wanting the models based on 40mm square bases was always what I intended until I saw the work by Pat on his blog site The Silver Whistle. At this point everything changed and the opportunity to play large skirmish games in addition to the massed battle games using the A Coat of Steel by the Perfect Captain was not to be missed.

All in all I like the elliptical cavalry bases and the circular infantry bases as they give a more organic feel. I am still thinking what I am going to do with all the 40mm square MDF bases I have sitting around.

I quite agree that terrain makes the game. A flat surface dulls the game somewhat. The piece of terrain in the pictures is about 20 years old, it was updated about 8 years ago.

Hi Folks,

I have another update for you. This time some W.I.P. I am working on some Breton mercenaries who were employed in Tudor's army. I have also included some pictures of some Men-At-Arms in progress with an accompanying spiel on how I paint them.

That's all for now, but I will have another post for tomorrow featuring the Earl of Oxford.

Hi folks,

this will be the last update for a little while whilst I prepare to move house, complete with workshop. Unfortunately any painting I do in the near future will be house painting.

However I present Oxford's retinue! If you go to the blog site you can find out about Richard III nemesis! The picture shows the width and depth of a single contingent , it's approximately 200mm wide x 100mm deep. The acrylic bases were made by that excellent fellow James, from Oshiro Model Terrain.

I quite like your clear movement trays; are they home made?

Hi there,

The movement trays were bespoke made by James at Oshiro Model Terrain.
