From KyleC: WotR Regiment (280pts)


So I am waiting on my terrain's oil washes to dry still.. so while waiting for it all to dry I got out the other War of the Roses regiment and got it finished.. 

A simple color scheme here for an unnamed lord to lead his troops into battle. 

The lord with his retainer in horseback, and then his lesser lords on foot to lead the troops in battle. 

I picked green as an easier color and one that was easier to make for clothing. To represent him being maybe a lesser lord of maybe lower standing.

The standard units of bowmen here to cover the advancing billmen. 

And the billmen to advance up the field. 

This now gives me 4 lords, each with 24 billmen and 24 archers as a minimum. Plus a few units of Men at Arms, and a unit of Pikes. 

The fun units are left being crossbowmen, gunners, knights, and artillery. 

But for now..

2 mounted troops 28mm - 20pts
52 foot infantry 28mm - 260pts
Total 280pts

And now to finish up the terrain bits and get them posted here also!

Kyle, dude, you are absolutely on fire with your painting these past 10 days! Amazing. These guys look greentastic and ready to fight for one Rose or another. This all being said, you definitely need some banners for all these chaps as they look a bit lost without some brave flags to fight under. Still, this is a stonking bit of work! Well done.

    1. Thanks. It's looking good in comparison to the other 3 lords regiments and really stands out. Let's see how all the mercs go when I tackle them!

  3. They look great and very effective on the board. Are you going to slow down your painting in 2023? :)

    1. Short answer. No. Long answer.. probably.. am just riding the mojo train while I can and while work is quiet. Let's see how Jan/Feb goes though.

  4. @Curt. Indeed they need banners. Was thinking the same while seeing them alongside the older units. But that's a research while working task not a paint while work is quiet task ;) Priorities as one might say.

    1. Thanks Peter. Am trying to do as much as I can before work resumes in January. I know how bad my schedule can get at times.. though I do hope to still have energy to keep up a decent pace here.

  6. Banners and bases are what stands out more on a table, I agree with Curt. Having said that, very nicely done, the green color is outstanding

    1. Are the bases bad then? Agree on the banners but as said that's more a work research thing and I am more wanting to get things done while I have time/energy.. gotta paint while the painting is available. Thanks for the comment. Am glad the green is well received considering it's Ok Flesh Contrast by GW 😅

    1. Thanks. I do need to add banners as mentioned before, but already they are looking coherent at the very least. Need to get the full forces out and onto the table for a photoshoot. Motivate me to get the rest of them finished up!
