Hundred Years War: English (9)


Richard de Vere the 11th Earl of Oxford was commander of the English rear-guard at Agincourt and one of those 'happy few'.


The figures are all from the Perry plastics range, mainly the 'English Army' set, but Oxfords sword arm is from the 'Agincourt Knights' set.


I made a simple sabot command stand as a test piece, 50mm MDF circle made up with DAS clay to 'socket' the bases. Not that happy with the result but it shall suffice, maybe another custom order to Warbases is needed.


I'm out of figures for this project now, so a new order has been placed on Arcane Scenery, I took them on vacation with me and now have 72 figures assembled and ready for some paint.


More to come.

    I really like the look of your blackened armour. I have been trying to do something similar for TYW cuirassiers. How do you get that black, but still shiny look?
