From AndrewB - War of the Roses! (175 points)

Back with a delayed post!   Life got in the way of the hobby for a bit, but I managed to squeak out some final points before the end!   A couple gaming buddies have been painting up figures for Hail Caesar, following how Seventh Son bases his minis, so I tossed in a couple units of Men at Arms, as well as an alternative command base!  




The two units are loyal to Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury.  In the event they need to represent someone else, I can swap out the central command base for the more generic one!  The flowers on the base are white, so players can tell right away on the tabletop these are Yorkists.  

There’s 35 28mm figures, which should be 175pts.   Not the strongest ending, but it’s something!  Here’s to hoping for next year staying life-free for the challenge, we’ll break 2,000!

I must apologize once again for my cranial density (indeed, I must do so daily, it would seem), but who is the "Seventh Son", and what is it about his basing that attracted you to it? Is it odd or different somehow? I would love to know more!

Regardless, this lot of armoured crazies ready to whack people in the context of a conflict that I will never understand - but absolutely looks super cool - should fit right in! They look great Andrew. And while life may have been in the way, the main bit is that it continues, and you got some hobby stuff done in the face of whatever obstacles it has thrown your way. 

Well done.

  1. Lovely looking unit. Using the color of the tufts to indicate the side is a nice touch.

  6. I suspect "Seventh Son" is 7thson726, a YouTuber. https://www.youtube.com/@7thson726
