This unit wears the Argent and Sable livery of Sir Richard Tunstall of Thurland.
Thurland castle is located in Lancashire.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, Sir Richard adhered to the Lancastrian faction.
Thurland Castle; it was badly damaged in a siege during the Civil War in 1643, and then again by a major fire in 1876, thus much of the existing structure is of Victorian origin.
Thunstall and his men fought at Wakefield, Second St Albans, Towton, Hedgeley Moor, and Hexham.
A flag will be added later this Spring.
Being of Retinue status, the men have more armor for protection.
Annie, one of my daughter's dogs, doing what she loves best - Agility competition!
Looking good, Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon!
DeleteAnother great addition to the growing WotR collection there Peter....how many more units do you have to go?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. 5 more to go plus some Leader bases after that, plus adding flags to some units.
DeleteSable and argent, that makes it sound like a fashion choice! Good looking billmen, should be quite the game at H-Con this summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Yes it does sound like something to wear to the Met Gala, doesn't it? :-)
DeleteThe troops will be used foe Tim and David's five Historicon games, using their Test of Resolve rules.
Very nice the quilted jackets stand out nicely
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary - the Magic Wash helped once again here.
DeleteMore lovely work Peter. Quilted jackets always look good as Gary says, and there is something distinctly medieval about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. Yes, this lot looks about as much (late) medieval as they come!
DeleteWonderful yet again Peter. Very nice figure and pose and getting my WoTR itch growing. It’s all your fault you know😂
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carlo. Blogs are a primary vector for infection with the Collection expansion bug... or perhaps, re-infection! :-)
DeleteAnother splendid looking retinue unit!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain

ReplyDeleteGratuitous dog photo 'best of show' for mine though!!
Regards, James
Thanks, James. That's Annie, who like agility competition the best of the four of the dogs.
