As I have well over 200 figures to paint is banners to make, etc, and actually I am not the worlds quickest painter I have decided to go with a block colour, wash and highlight for the main core of the army and spent some time of the heroes, leaders and monsters.

The Planning

So I have broken the Army into four elements, wing or more correctly battles that have a common theme running through them , be it colour or symbols on the banners.

I have actually based the banners and liveries used on real units that fought in the War of the roses.

The Planning

So the battles are made of of a number of Regiments of 20 men.

Sir Augustus Greene of Hamilton

Central Battle, unified with green in their livery.

Pikemen Block 1, Robert Lord Hungerford & Lord Molynes

Livery: Red and Green

Pikemen Block 2, Henry Bouchier, Earl of Essex

Livery: Black and Green
