I find myself saying this a lot but ......this is long overdue ! I very happily present the command of Richard de la Pole, the last White Rose, pretender to the English crown.Richard de la Pole (born about 1480, died 24 February 1525) was a…
Here's the finished piece painted and ready to join the men at arms. I'm really happy with how this turned out. I did consider painting per the source image but wanted something a bit more decorative. Some close ups, I really like how these…
Reconstructed Cuir Bouilli Barding, Musee de l'armee Paris. Using the images from this collection I was able to piece together the bard conversion, modelling each panel in turn with drying time in-between before adding the chanfron, reins a…
This is part 3 of a re-basing project for the Landsknechts in my collection, some of which were painted quite a while back. I opted to re-base and re-invigorate my troops by adding newly painted figures to the older ones in my collection th…
Edward Stanley, Lord Monteagle c1462-1523 This post is very much a continuation of the last, as Edward Stanley is a commander at Flodden, I feel he is deserving of a separate post. Born c1462, the son of Thomas Stanley and Eleanor Neville,

The ranks of the Scots Army continue to grow with this latest addition. Some Highland bows to act as skirmishers and protect the flanks of the pikes for the Scots armies of Flodden and Linlithgow. They're equally useful in their own right f…
Wow! Superb work, they look absolutely cracking and the last pictures of the massed pike block is just amazing, great stuff! Impressed by the Pike block and paintjob !!!! Superb work! Landsknechts are one of those things where every time I
James IV's army continues to grow. To support the existing pike I thought it was about time they had some artillery to represent the 'Seven Sisters' which battered English castles with ease on the Flodden campaign though through circumstanc…
It feels like with each batch i'm getting a bit more authentic and better at an overall image. There are a handful of gentlemen in fine armour, a French captain, a Galloglass, a few in livery coats of Huntly's blue and yellow and the vast m…
