Wars of the Roses: Plantagenet Archers


More of the many merry men in Murrey (and Azure)!


The deep burgundy color does make a striking contrast with the blue!


There is a pretty comprehensive listing of WotR livery colors at The Waving Flag site. 


The database also lists the battles that each particular retinue participated in, which can be interesting and helpful. 


In the true spirit of the Wars of the Roses, these lads will probably fight for whomever I need them to!


That finishes the first group of WotR figures, but never fear, there are another 5 units almost done to join them...

  1. You continue making quick work of this project! I have referenced that DB, many many times in building my armies. Terrific resource.

    1. Yes, very handy it is!

      The winter and spring are usually my most productive times for painting.

      I have 5 more units almost done, then a pair of Spanish Napoleonic Infantry for variety, and then I will finish the WotR project after that.

    1. As Jon notes, very useful!

      The free WotR compendium from WI has a lot of good articles and two livery listings as well, but no where near as comprehensive as this one!
