Bosworth Field Project - Based

So the majority of figures for this project have been based onto Litko plywood bases. The infantry are based 3-figures per 40mm squares, and the mounted 3-figures per 50X80mm rectangles. Most of figures are Old Glory from their Agincourt and War of the Roses ranges - the so-called Revenge line. The longbowmen and billmen are plastic Perry Miniatures.
I'll likely get box of Perry Medieval Mercenaries and another box of WotR Infantry for this project.
I don't plan on having too many missile troops as the scenario I envision will be more of the close-combat portion of this battle. I'm debating how to include the Stanley faction which turned the tide of the battle - "Treason!"

  11. Wow that is impressive! It always amazes me how quickly you can paint a very large group of figures. I can't wait to see some pics of them close up!

    1. Oh, Sorry I didn't mention it in the post, but I had most of these painted before and just re-based them. The Perry plastics were the only new ones I painted - plus the lances as they formerly held flags. Best, Dean

  14. Although Late Medieval is not my favorite period, I am getting the strong urge to get some figures on the table to do battle against you! A very impressive display. As always, very nice work Dean.

      I also hope to do some Renaissance with my Empire guys - Pavia maybe. Thanks for those Empire troops BTW. Dean

    1. Thanks, Monty. I've had them for a while, but they were individually based for WAB - I they way they look now better, and should work for modified Hail Caesar. Only thing is I may have to add a few more units. I was hoping to get by with the existing WAB figures and the one box of Perrys. Wishful thinking. Best, Dean

  18. Great to see! The medieval and WOTR periods are faves of mine! They were the first WAB armies I collected...The Osprey on WOTR is a good read.

    1. Thanks, Scott. I really got hooked on Medievals after perusing the Turnbull book on the Medieval Knight. That and the Crecy/Poitiers and Agincourt Ospreys. Who can resist knights in shining armor (and colorful surcoats, jupons and tabards). Best, Dean

  20. Thanks, James. I just picked up the last box of Perry Mercenaries from the Matrix - where I previously picked up the last box of Perry WotR Infantry. They were probably sitting on the shelf for a few years too. Best, Dean
