The Assault Group Tudor Standard Bearer

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

Papal Flags of Julius II

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.

Elizabethan Demi Lancer

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/

 cheers Pete

Crann Tara officer figure

Something a little different

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 

2nd game of Donnybrook

Here's some pic from our second game of Donnybrook which was touch and go for most of but resulted in an English victory despite the English commander being killed. The cannon fired twice and managed to take two casualties off the Irish and both Irish commanders were captured after being knocked unconscious. The next game will be a raid to rescue these two.  All figures are by Crann Tara, cheers Pete

the Irish  are in for a bit of a surprise at this week's Donnybrook clash when this little beauty will be unveiled against my opponents' newly painted Gallowglass. well they will if I get them varnished and based in time.  The crew figures are conversions from the Crann Tara civilian pack  and the gun is an old QT model with Games Workshop wheels.
