Wars of the Roses: Archers of Sir Henry Grey


These Retinue archers wear the Gules and Vert livery of Sir Richard Grey.


I did a unit of Bills in this livery last year, so this unit adds to Lord Grey's contingent. 


A flag will be added shortly (I have several new packs on the way from Pete's Flags).

These are Old Glory figures, once again from the former "Revenge" line.

  1. A useful and colourful addition. The faces of the figures all look very determined.

    1. Thanks, Mack. Rules are test of Resolve, Wars of the Roses: https://testofresolve.com/?v=7516fd43adaa although To the Strongest! would work, too. There's a walk through of a ToR on this blog.

    1. Thank you, Jon. The WotR project was one of those things that wasn't planned far in advance, but has been enjoyable. I may well add a few more units in 2024, and there are several kore to come in this batch!

    1. Thanks, Keith. A few more units and some more commanders to come this year. I may add another few in 2024, and then that *should* be it for this collection. "Should" :-)

  11. I stumbled upon your blog while delving into the rich history of the Wars of the Roses and was immediately drawn in by your detailed account of the Archers of Sir Henry Grey.

  12. I'm going to allow these two comments to stand, but they look like spam to me. We will see.
