Sharkbelly adds his tally for January.

Oh, alright, I'll go back and get the tally to update it ...

My painting on the Aver River Knights, mercenary general, and mounted warrior priest has come to a halt while did some on 5 more crossbowmen from militia sprues for my Averland army, and I added some more paint to a block of 20 skaven with hand weapons. Been distracted with a terrain project idea, a stepped pyramid for use with 40K and fantasy, maybe even Warcry and Killteam too.

I started and finished one paint-by-numbers painting today, started it a few days ago. That counts as my monthly painting. Two more coming in tomorrow, so going to get cracking on one of those as well. Mark me down for completing one of the three I have left.

Remembered that I'd listed priming 132 Wars of the Roses figures for February, but got it done today, along with some small scenery pieces, 10 Border Reivers, 5 Araby Dogs of War cav, and 1 new mounted crossbowman ... so will list here as completed.

A 132 primed models?! Are you nuts?!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #31 on:** March 12, 2021, 02:28:25 PM »

These 132 were just spray primed. The hard part was gluing them all together last summer.

And now these 132 Perry 28mm Wars of the Roses need to be painted.

60 archers were primed in white ... 24 for Warwick, 24 for York, 12 for Somerset. All of those are in units of 12.

12 handgunners were also primed in white, these will make 2 units of 6 each, and will likely be painted in York, and Warwick or Edward IV colors.

24 archers were primed in gray for Salisbury, plus his 12 billmen. There were also 12 bills in gray for York, 6 bills to complete Warwick's unit, and 6 pikemen to complete a unit of mercenaries from Europe.

Beyond the newly primed figures, I already have 60 that are table top ready ... 6 men-at-arms and 6 bills for Warwick, 6 men-at-arms and 12 archers for Clifford, and 12 bills with 12 archers as Welsh or Tudor, plus the 6 pikemen as European mercenaries.

Adding the 132 primed yesterday to the 60 completed makes for 192 figures, and that's isn't even the whole project, more to do beyond.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #33 on:** March 12, 2021, 05:48:05 PM »

Oh, you don't know the half of it.

Besides what is above, there are 12 bills on my gluing table that just need heads attached, and 7 archers that need 5 more friends. Plus there is a leader, bannerman, and additional archer, previously primed, yet not sure what units they will go with yet. I also have bits for 46 more men-at-arms, and 89 more archers, bills, and crossbowmen. Add 12 light cavalry, and 6 metal billmen that are hiding somewhere, and that makes a total of 186 more figures, beyond the 192 already listed above. Grand total ... 376. So far.

Seconded 😺

GamesPoet · « **Reply #35 on:** March 12, 2021, 06:30:57 PM »

You think I'm mad with that project?

I just picked up over 600 metal ancients for $200. Mostly Macedonians, Greeks, Persians, some from India, and a smattering of others.

Those get added to 14 painted Persian inf, 24 painted Greek mercenaries, 40 metal Macedonian inf, 48 plastic Macedonian inf, 6 metal Macedonian cav, 110 Greek Inf, 4 leftover plastic Greeks, 58 plastic Persian inf, 30 metal Persian cav, 24 plastic Persian cav, and 4 chariots, 4 light cav, plus 128 more miscellaneous metal infantry. For the record ... that is 1,100 figures for the era.

I didn't include my relatively minimal number of Romans, Celts, Germans, Dacians, and Numidians, all plastic with a few minor exceptions. Nor my over 300 metal Assyrians.

Indeed. The insanity is greater then previously expected. Good insanity though. 😺

WotRs and Ancients are not my only historical interests, but they are the only eras I have inventoried. So far.

Are you trying to recreate the order of battle for both parties of the Battle of Bosworth Field on a 1:1 basis? Good lord.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #39 on:** March 13, 2021, 11:09:34 PM »

Nope. But I am going after representing as many different major nobles as possible. Got a multiplayer campaign in a day event I am planning to do for the 1st Battle of St. Albans campaign. There will be at least 12 tables, maybe more, and probably a double table for for the immediate St. Albans area. Then after that, I have plans for more campaigns like this, and more battles for historical games at conventions.

Syphon · « **Reply #40 on:** March 14, 2021, 01:32:05 PM »

I think that's cool. The War of the Roses is one of those things I wish I knew more about but can't really be bothered to learn about as I already know so much. x.x

GamesPoet · « **Reply #41 on:** March 14, 2021, 02:34:39 PM »

After 18 years of not hobbying, my first foray back included a visit to a toy soldier show where there was a 15mm game that I sat down to be part, and it was a representation of the battle of Tewksbury. The Wars of the Roses was something I'd heard of, but it really wasn't something ever reviewed in detail, and certainly not something covered in the schools I attended further back. I became curious, did some reading, have continued since, and partially because Perry came out with their 28mm Wars of the Roses plastic kit. I found a paper someone wrote on the fighting at Ferrybridge, Dittingdale, and Towton, on how these three fights were more likely all on the same day when one considers how time was viewed now and then, and I started this project for just doing some figures for Towton at first. Then it took off after that because of some friends of mine who encouraged doing a campaign for this era, like they and I do them for the Napoleonic era. I am currently using Lion Rampant rules which means in using the Late English list there needs at least 2 archer units of 12 figures each, 1 foot sergeants unit of 12 each, and 1 of foot men-at-arms of 6 each, and for each noble.

Syphon · « **Reply #42 on:** March 15, 2021, 01:52:23 PM »

Was it 15mm because there are more miniatures involved and more units? Or is it just one of those things?

GamesPoet · « **Reply #43 on:** March 15, 2021, 02:48:25 PM »

Different folks enjoy different scales.

I'm done with Morathi and 5 black guards! Only have 4 more black guards primed so doing them in waiting of priming weather. Really need to start working on some core troops soon

The painting is done, my lads. That makes two this month. Dare I go for a third? Probably! But I won't put it as a goal as this one is a great deal more involved.

GamesPoet · « **Reply #47 on:** March 18, 2021, 01:33:46 PM »

Started working on flash and mold removal on 24 Persian cavalry. Been doing the merc commander, and Aver River Knights, but haven't touched the mounted warrior priest. Need to return to all three if I hope to get them completed by the end of March.

Yes. I believe they sacked Paris in a blitzkreig style of assault with horses and chariots. They were after the white rose of champagne.
You know, one of the famed Roses they were fighting for 😺
Bloody useless thing to be fighting for if you ask me.
