| Here's a couple of pics of my first base of Tudor nobles, I've still got the base to finish and will get this done later on in the week. I've only got 7 border horse to paint and then this 300 pt Impetus army is complete and then it's back to painting some flags or start painting the French. the figures are by the Assault Group and the barded horses are by Eureka. |

| Here's a WIP pic of the Tudor noble standard bearer, the rider's by TAG and the horse is by Eureka. I'm not sure how many nobles I'll give barded horses as I'm unsure to what extent they were used at this date. The little info I have is they didn't have time to get the bards from the baggage train at the Battle of Pinkie so charged without them which suggests they used them at other times. cheers Pete |
 |
| Here's a couple more bases for the Tudors, the first is a unit of carabins which appear to have been pretty successful in the war in scotland and the other is a Tudor shrimpe artillery piece. Little is known about these guns and I didn't have a clue what colour to paint it but think it's turned out okay. It's a funny looking thing though and reminds me of the mouse from fingerbobs. |
 |
| Here's some pics of my completed Tudors; there's nine impetus bases completed and one command done so far. Initially I'll be painting enough for a 300pt force which means I have an artillery element and four cavalry bases yet to do; I'll add to this once I've painted a 300pt French force. The figures are the excellent TAG Tudors , the flags are my own and the bases are from Ian at Precision Wargames Supplies, cheers Pete |
 |
| TAG Tudor Duke of Norfolk command stand well almost the armoured horse is from Pro Gloria, the base is one of the excellent steel bases available from here: http://www.freewebs.com/pwsltd/steelbases.htm This is the first command set for my Tudor Impetus army which will hopefully be complete for Christmas. |
 |
| Here's my representation of a a couple of flags representing Edward Plantagenet, the first is as Earl of March and the second is him as king of England. I've got no idea if these were carried alongside each other however medieval nobility appear to have collected badges/titles etc as they went along so I'm guessing they could have been. I'm not sure which Yorkist noble to do next so any suggestions would be welcome, cheers and thanks for looking Pete. |
 |
| Here's another couple of flags for Edward Plantagenant, the standard represents the flag of the Earl of March and the second is my favourite Yorkist banner and represents the banner carried at the Battle of Tewkesbury. |
 |
| Here's a pic of a couple of Yorkist flag bearers representing the White rose of Edward IV and the Falcon and Fetterlock badge of the Duke of York, figures are from the Perry mercenaries box. |
 |
| Tudor Arquebusiers from TAG: these figures are just about done however the ensign needs finishing off. I had a right carry on with the matt varnish on these and couple needed a repaint, hopefully I've got it sorted now. I've just finished 36 bowmen and have made a start on the billmen so more pics shouldn't be far away. cheers Pete |
 |
| A couple of TAG ensigns; the flags are printed onto cloth. |
 |
| Flag of the Duke of Norfolk and one that may represent one of the flags carried by the gentlrman pensioners at the siege of Boulogne. |
 |
| Due to an arm injury I haven't completed any flags or painted anything for some time. However here's the first of set of flags for Henry VIII's army in the 1540's, once I've done this sheet I'll be back to work on a few flags I've been promising for a while, cheers Pete |
 |
| Here's two flag sheets for the forces of Pope Julius II. Flagsheet 1: the first flag is conjectural the 2nd and 3rd are taken from a contemporary etching and the 4th and 5th are conjectural . Flagsheet2: First flag is taken from a contemporary painting, the rest of the flags are taken from the battle of Ravenna woodcut however the colours are conjectural. |
 |
| Here's a couple of pictures of my first demi lancer for use with Donnybrook rules. The figure is a simple conversion of the excellent Elizabethan general figure from Crann Tara miniatures; to have a look how simple here's the link to prove it http://www.cranntaraminiatures.co.uk/ |

 |
| Here's a pic of my representation of the flags for the 1st Jyske and the Schleswig Cavalry regiments from the Scanian War. This completes the first Scanian War flag sheet however there will be more to come but first I've some Burgundians to finish and some Yorkists to get started. cheers Pete |
