“This knight…brought with him…men who had been hardened in certain civil
wars which had raged in their country. They were huge feeders, and deep
carousers…often unruly and noisy in their wassail. Though from a remote
and somewhat barbarous island, they yet believed themselves to be the
most perfect of men on earth.”
Just a group photo of the Perry figures recently completed. These are the contents of 3 boxes of Infantry and a box each of Foot Knights, Light Cavalry and Mounted Men at Arms. Also, a metal cannon and Yorkist foot command included as a freebie with the 3 boxes of Infantry "Army Deal."
Some close ups of the troops by type.

Coincidentally, a book I won off of ebay arrived from England today.
Someday, I will need to playtest the First St Albans and Bosworth scenarios. However, after "counting the fighting men," so to speak, it appears a couple more boxes of foot should be added. Best wishes to you all!

Holy cow! That's beyond impressive - to have created such a wonderful army at an incredible pace is to be commended! Now, we await the battle reports!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting and your nice comment, Greg! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteOutstanding work Dean. Your army looks exceptional.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Jake. Best to you and yours! Dean
DeleteJaw-dropping splendor, Dean. Hard to believe how recently you began this project. Astounding speed and beauty.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Thank you very much, Jonathan. I now see I will need a few more units. Regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic work Dean! Epic army and great work tempo :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Best regards, Dean
DeleteSweet Jupiter! That's fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteWhat a sight! You managed to get these done in such incredible time too.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your visit and nice compliment, Michael! Best, Dean
DeleteA superb array of models!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steven. Perry figures are very satisfying to paint! Regards, Dean
DeleteSun in splendour!
ReplyDeleteHouse of York, lives! :) Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat Army Dean and "The Medieval Soldier" is a bit of a reenactment legend as a book! If you look at some of the photos you will see Alan and Michael Perry in them from their days in the White Company!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for the kind compliments, and also for the tip about the Perrys. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat output and they look really good. In the same time I was able to only do one regiment of foot for my ECW Covenanters (about 36 figures) ... so... Challenge Accepted!
ReplyDeleteNaw, I'm taking a painting break the rest of summer and only going to work on shelf/display models.
BTW, awesome book. I believe it's part of a series with Romans and Vikings (both I have) and it's full of re-enactors as aforementioned above.
Thank you kindly, Gabe! Your Covenanters are a lot more detailed than these WotR guys, so your count is still impressive. Challenge or not :)! I have a Samurai armor book with reenactors - I think from this series too.
DeleteRegards, Dean
Brilliant army Dean, painted in record time!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mike! Best, Dean
DeleteWell, Dean, you made a 'Tango01' TMP link post! Well done!
ReplyDeleteFast AND good!
Wow! I've not been on TMP for quite a while too! I guess I have a reason to check it out now. Hope the smoke isn't too bad for you all up there in B.C. It's pretty smokey down here in right now. Peace, Dean
DeleteAll of them together is quite impressive to see. My favorite picture is of you wearing your armor, armed with your magazine!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Lol! Thanks, Kevin. I am a bit of a goof! :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent looking army Dean and in record time!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks, Christopher. I just ordered another box ea6of infantry and Foot knights. Regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic looking army, in record time! Have you ordered the mercenaries box as well, I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. I hemmed and hawed over the Merc box,but ended up with another infantry box. I felt bow and pole armed troops would be more versatile for other WotR's battles. Regards, Dean
DeleteYour right of course about St Albans, but for Bosworth there is a good argument for pike and shot had been around for a while by then, the fact is the mercenaries box is mainly different in the command sprue and the arms plus a few varient heads all the bodies of the rank and file are the same and with all the bill and bows sets you've had you'd be able to turn them all into archers if you felt like it anyway! But fair enough, at least we get to see some more bills and bows!
DeleteBest Iain
Iain, I may still get that set eventually, but plan to paint up the entire box of infantry as the Earl of Oxford's retinue. I will give the Citadel 6 decals another shot. And you're right about handguns and mercs at Bosworth. I also read somewhere that one of the nobles (Lancastrian?) was killed by a crossbow bolt through the neck at an earlier battle.
Delete...Great post! We adore this blog. Thanks for sharing.
