Got the box of Perry HYW English foot today - it came with a banner for the Duke of Norfolk, so was able to finish up that stand, along with several others. Below, left to right: Duke of Buckingham; Duke of Norfolk; Earl of Northumberland; and Duke of Somerset. I should add, the Duke of Buckingham stand has a knight wearing the arms of Sir John Say. Not sure if he participated in any of the battles, but I like his arms.
Below, all of the foot command stands, so far. Front row, left to right: Duke of York; Edward IV; Earl of Warwick; and Richard III. Second row, left to right: same as in the first photo, with the Earl of Oxford on the far right.
For my own reference, I listed the battles these can be used for. Duke of York: 1st St Albans, Ludford Bridge, Wakefield (KIA). Edward IV: Northampton, Mortimer's Cross, Towton, Barnet, Tewksbury. Earl of Warwick: 1st St Albans, Ludford Bridge, Northampton, 2nd St Albans, Towton, Barnet (KIA). Richard III: Barnet, Tewksbury, Bosworth (KIA). Duke of Buckingham: 1st St Albans, Ludford Bridge, Northampton (KIA). Duke of Norfolk: Northhampton, 2nd St Albans, Towton, Barnet, Tewksbury, Bosworth (KIA). Earl of Northumberland: 1st St Albans, Northampton, Wakefield, 2nd St Albans, Towton. Duke of Somerset: 1st St Albans, Wakefield, 2nd St Albans, Towton, Hedgely Moor, Hexham (executed after battle). Earl of Oxford: Barnet, Bosworth, Stoke Field. Granted some of the titles were passed to heirs, and flags for Edward IV and Richard III are those after they were crowned. I've games 1st St Albans, Tewkesbury, and Bosworth before, using Lion Rampant, and also Hail Caesar. I plan to game some of the other battles too.
While I was revisitng this project, I went ahead and rebased onto single bases these mounted WotR characters, including Margaret of Anjou.
Taking a break from WotR for now, and will start on the longbowmen from the HYW box. I already have a lot of English knights, but never had the bowmen. Until next time, wishing you all the best.
Beautiful collection Dean!
