From SimonG: Two Stands of HYW Mounted English Men at Arms (100 points)

Returning to my ongoing HYW project in 28mm I offer up the only stands of mounted men at arms on the English side. These two Impetus based stands represent Sir John Fortescue (blue banner with the white stripe) and Sir Thomas Rempston.

Both of these captains served in the late 1420s Joan of Arc period campaigns and Fortescue went on to a famous career as a judge in the court of Henry VI and in the Wars of the Roses -- he left a substantial written record in legal thinking and is buried in St Eadburgha's Church in Ebrington .

Rempston had a far more colourful HYW career and was active at many of the major battles of the last period of the war -- all in all he's a good and very useful Captain base for this period.

The figures are all Perry plastics with the exception of Fortescue which is a modest conversion of the Count de Vendome from the Agincourt French mounted command metal set -- I cut off the shield and tried my best to remove all of the moulded in heraldry (uugh!).

The horses for Rempston are all Perry wheras four of the five for Fortescue are Front Rank -- the Perry boxes are short of mounts relative to riders and the Front Rank mounted knights are very stiff poses so the mix works well -- although these horses are a bit "plough horse" like relative to the Perry's.

Flags are my own laser printed onto paper on foil and the surcoat and jupon are all hand painted. 

Ten mounted figures certainly is a fair amount of work and I'm glad I don't have to do any more but am pleased with how they came out -- anyway that's ten 28mm mounted figures at 10 points each for a total of another 100 points.

Next up I'm going to learn how to use an airbrush (or not, if it turns out to be too hard!)
