From BrendonW - The Black and the Red with a Big Gun (145 points)

4 x Knights (Mounted), 6 X Light horsemen, 1 x Gun and 4 Crew, 3 x Heavy Pikes (28mm).

All Plastic except the Gun and Crew and all are Perry Miniatures products to expand The Red and the Black, Wars of the Roses (and Beer trade and Bacon secrets wars).


First the Foot dudes and the thing that goes Boom! The metal gun crew needed a bit of prep work.



Next is 4 Knights. I completed 11 of these last year so had 1 left from last years Challenge unpainted. I decided to get another box though as they are the Abrams tanks of their times.



Next is my new favourites in the Army. Light Horsemen. Two sets will give me enough for eventually 2 units of Spears, 1 of Crossbows and 1 of bows, (Six in each).




So that's it for this week. Just two larger posts as requested by the rowing slaves.
The Bomber has been parked and has the cover pulled over it.....for now. :) 
Enjoy your painting everyone. Cheers

You really can crank these lovely red and black high medieval troops out Brendon! I think the thing that strikes me in this batch is this alternating bands on the lances which always looks good and in red and black seems especially eye catching.
Another 145 points sees you take your tally to a very healthy and nicely rounded 555 points which is over 1/3 of your target. Nice one! Cheers, Millsy.
PS. Thanks for parking the bomber. I was starting to understand what life during the blitz must have been like :-)

  4. Brendan I've been working on many of these same figures and I very much admire your results. Your beers and bacon crew got me hooked on the Perry Early renaissance range last challenge, and joy still inspire.
    Lovely, lovely work. Peter

  14. The bombing campaign continues, with devastating effect - that's one helluva nice army you have there, with a bold and distinctive colour palette, expertly rendered. Simply spectacular!

  21. Hmm, maybe Perry WotR would be a good Warhammer Empire proxy. I'm sure some one has a list out there somewhere.
