War of the Roses (3) Knights


I haven't posted in a while but there hasn't been a let up in painting. Here are 10 knights I've painted for the Wars of the Roses. I've done 5 in blue and 5 in red. They are Perry Plastics, I really like them, but I find painting cavalry is hard work. It's the horses which are the killer for me. I've got another 14 on the sprues, but I'll have to do some slightly less grinding painting first.

 




I've also painted a couple of  WotR generals to lead my armies, They aren't meant to be any specific commanders, just generic nobles.

 

My next project is world war one in 28mm scale. This is somthing I've wanted to do since my very first non-GW models, which where some of the 1914 Renegade miniatues. Thats was over 5 years ago, and I never got more than 2 squads and a HMG each of Germans and British.
I'm now turning to late war, so I can use all the fun things like grenades, lewis guns, light morters, flamethrowers, stormtroopers and even maybe a tank. So there will be a lot more of these on the blog at some point, I'm still waiting on an order from Renegade miniatures. In the mean time I'm paiting up a few packs of Great War Minatures British I got of ebay. 
Thats how for now.
