From TomG: Going All Medieval/Renaissance (45 points)

Hello one and all, I hope you've been well and enjoying the awesome content, as I have, when you find time to. 
In my long awaited return to posting, here are some War of the Roses minis I had painted at the beginning of the year, but, as you'll see in a minute, I've been a bit preoccupied. 

The models are from Perry Miniatures, and we're both a delight and easy to paint. These are just the armoured infantry, leaving me with a number of archers to get sorted in due time. But until they are all sorted the banners will stay off... mainly so I can decide which design to put on them. 


From the back you get a better look at my red and yellow chap, who I was very happy with, but he mainly came out from an unexpected experiment with the GW contrast yellow paint, when I mistook it for their yellow wash. I wanted each man to look different in an effort to give them a more mercenary look, which I feel has been achieved to some degree. 

Now, as for my absence, my wife and I were very fortunate to welcome our 5th child in to the world on the 18th Feb, so I present to you all Kalliope and her very proud Dad. 

Mummy and baby are both doing really well, so I'll be back to painting very soon, and hopefully with a bit more late medieval/early renaissance for you all, even my first attempt at a hand made banner! 

Points - 9x28mm = 45pts (I think haha)



Firstly, congrats on the new addition to your clan! Secondly, nice work on the MAAs - gotta love some WoTR heavies!
