The final Wars of the Roses units done.

So as we finally drag ourselves out of lockdown I thought I should complete and I mean that's it, my Wars of the Roses army. I picked up some decently priced old Citadel WOR figures which are still good quality figures and set to.
I 'needed' these extra figures because Pete of Pete's flags had released a new Yorkist set of standards that I had to buy. Most wargamers understand these two words, 'want' and 'need.' They are important words often used in the wargamers world, when in reality we dont really need them, its just we have to feed the addiction. 
These chaps belong to the ward of John de Pole and are in my favourite livery colours.
 So hopefully as the weeks progress we will finally end up playing regular wargames and attending wargame shows. I appreciate there is the fear of the consequences of the Indian variant, but looking on the brightside I'm expecting things to slowly relax back into something like normality.

  1. Beautiful work, Robbie! Pete has a couple of new flagsets for WotR. The light blue and straw is a handsome livery. I may add this to my list. Your WotR project is finished? Say it isn't so!

  2. What wonderful additions to the collection Robbie. I'm sure though that with time you will 'need' more.

  3. Cracking work. Those Citadel WOR figs still hold their own despite being about 35 years old.

  6. Excellent. John de la Pole Earl of Lincoln has appeared in every one of my WoR's armies and is one of my favourites too.

  7. These look excellent. The mix of figures on the bases really adds to the overall appeal.
