What an absolute pleasure it was painting a retinue of Perry Miniatures WOTR figures for Lion Rampant!
I may have got little carried away and painted more than I'm ever likely to use in a single game. But here they all are in their finery, a retinue of mounted and foot men at arms, billmen, archers, bidowers and scurrers.
They bear the banner and livery of Lord Scrope of Bolton, a Yorkist Lord who was wounded at Townton, fought at Bosworth and finally died in 1498.
The banner is hand painted on foil from a nice bottle of Cotes du Rhone.
Mmmm, French wine bottles, marvelous! And marvelous is the paint job, beautiful figures!
ReplyDeleteTop looking figures, love the flag to!

ReplyDeleteLovely work, esp the flag
ReplyDeleteCracking looking figures
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Dux!
ReplyDeleteThose look lovely. The flag in particular is excellent.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for painting more than you need, the handy thing about civil wars is that you can easily switch sides.
Flag .... Well done
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work...the 5 o'clock shadow on the mounted dude is great. And my favourite retinue..... Scrope seems such a silly name (apologies to any Scrope's reading this) , and having a Chough as a livery badge seems amusing too (not sure why).
ReplyDeleteLovely work painting all the birds, and the wintery look!
ReplyDeletelove the flower basing ! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking collection. I agree that they are a pleasure to build and paint. Cheers
