A Return


It's been more than a year since I posted the last time.  That's not to say, however, that I've been totally idle.

The "command" stand of the army, at least in name: the so-called Earl of Warwick (not pictured), with his standard, a Burgundian retainer, and a piper to keep him amused.


A German man-at-arms, with a pavise inspired by this example.  I'm not certain how common it was for men-at-arms to use pavises in combat, but hey-ho.


A de la Pole banner and an archer with a less common Yorkist badge.  These will likely go on the main Irish base, to represent the bows-and-bills character of troops raised in the Pale and show the ties between Dublin (and Ireland generally) and the House of York.

Waiting now for more miniatures, for the Irish and also for Simnel.
