From GavinB- Test figures for Henry Stafford's Retinue [25 Points]

Its my first time participating in the AHPC so I figured I'd start things off by painting some miniatures from the very period that got me into wargaming, The Wars of The Roses. After making a large Yorkist army of communally based WoTR figures for Hail Caesar, I kind of wanted to make a small retinue of singularly based models for Lion Rampant 2nd Ed. So I made a few test figures from extra sprues I had lying around from previous WoTR projects. I painted up 4 Perry Miniature foot knights and a Perry archer model that I found In my lead mountain, totalling five 28mm figures which equals 25 points.

Looking through The Wars of the Roses: The Medieval Art of Graham Turner I saw this painting, and It made my want to make my Retinue in the livery of Henry Stafford.

Any way, I'll stop blabbering on and let you see the pictures...

My (Failed) attempt at the livery badge... looks like a depressed pretzel 

To make these guys feel more unique I made a livery sash from green stuff for the fellow on the left 

  

Planning on doing some Turnip28 Models next!

Happy Holidays all!

First, welcome to the Challenge Gavin! It's great to have new folks join us in this bit of winter madness. 

Also, great opening volley! Aren't those Perry plastic sets just brilliant? You've done great work on these five here and I think your interpretation of the Stafford livery looks terrific (but I like pretzels so take that with a salted one...). I'm also very jealous of your copy of Turner's work - it's been sitting in my Amazon cart for months, waiting for me to take the plunge and click 'Checkout'. Your work may be just what I need to push me over the edge. Thank you! :)

5 Wars of the Roses warriors for 25 points. Well done!
