"War of The Roses Crossbowmen and Hand Gunners" Topic

This weeks blog is a look at the latest units that I have painted to join my WOTR army – crossbowmen and hand gunners. I hope that you find it useful.

I must say, you did a great job. The red crosses on the figures look like decals and not painted on. How did you get them squared off so well?

VCarter – thanks for your comments. The crosses were first painted on in red using thinned paint and I let the brush determine the width of the line. To get the squared edge, I corrected any errors by painting across the end of the line in the original blue or white if you see what I mean. That then tidies everything up. I hope that helps.

That's what I thought you may have done.

Great job all around.

Perfect painting! From the iconography on the pavises I would class this is a Burgundian unit, though. Was there any faction in the WotR that used this coat of arms?

I think the shields are decals.

@Puster
The images are the red saltire of Burgundy and the Burgundian 'flint and steel' image.

The white and blue livery was used by several in the WOTR:

Henry VI
Duke of Somerset
Lord Fauconberg
Sir Richard Croft
