Wow. Just started painting my first box of Burgundian mercenaries from Perry and it's pretty inspirational seeing you paint this amazing heraldry. I may pick characters with simpler livery! Thanks v much for sharing
Holy crap Martin! That is frikking Amazing! Besides that one diamond being 0.000000003 mm to far to the left, its perfect 😂😂😂😂😂! Thank you for sharing your process!
Fantastic job, love the final assortment of relatives and retinue you chose to base together; that heraldry is perfectly recognizable despite the scale (and despite having been quartered and halved so many times by his generation it wound up looking like a family history quilt)
Cracking video, absolutely superb painting the colours really do ‘pop’, love the Bishop figure👍🏻, I think I would have gone with cannon, but see your point, can’t wait to see the completed base👍🏻
Very nice Martin I really like just about every thing you did. I just got a new tv and testing the you tube function I watched your video in 4K. It really makes the colours stand out.
Really impressive job of the coat of arms, don’t know many people who would have gone to that effort but it looks so good! The whole retinue are looking great, looking forward to seeing your next video in the series. Can honestly say, as a Scot, this is a period of history I know very little about but it has been fascinating following along.
Hi Martin, I’m a huge fan of your videos, especially the painting stuff. You taught me how to base my miniatures. I’m really new to the hobby. I started with Barons war skirmish but got a bit bored after a while. I think the moving individual figures around and the theme of Robin Hood but not Robin Hood is a bit dull (minis are great though) What I’m really in to is ancients, English civil war, and wars of the roses. And battles or something like never mind the billhooks, rather than small skirmish. As you have played all of those, I wonder if you or anyone else could recommend between Epic Hannibal, epic pike and shotte, or Perry 28mm wars of the roses for hail Caesar or billhooks or something else. I’m not brilliant at painting yet, still learning
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching. I'm really glad you like the content 😁 I personally will always leave to the WOTR because I love the period and you can build a decent 28mm army for about £100 using Perry plastics and metals. You can start playing quickly as well. If gaming is more your choice then the Epic Hannibal or Pike and Shotte may be the way forward, less focus on painting and how the unit looks and rather the feel it gives Hope that helps 👍
Amazing looking paint jobs there. I especially love how much detail you went into with the coats of arms - many just make them semi-right lines and dots to represent vs going into a form of trying to make them detailed and stand out to the correct coat-of-arms. As for suggestions for next week when your putting the base together: I agree with keeping the two sides - the No name bannermen on the right and the named on the left. I’d have him and his man facing one another discussing as it looks much better - his actions more come off as if saying “this way sire” or “are you sure that direction?” and Nevil just pointing “there!” As for his two guardsmen, I’d have both near his back with both flanking his sides, or both together - the other night falling in behind his companion with the banner as if ready to leap between the Kingmaker and banner to protect it/steal the glory/even recover it. And I’d maybe have the dogs stood beside the “help” - why he might be a bit cross. The “help” behind the brother having to babysit the dogs/actually be close to the action where he can be killed.
Madness! I am so impressed with the detail. Are you sure he didn't have an "away kit" that would be easier to paint?! You are an inspiration to us all Martin.
Superb work on coat of arms - looks great. Very interesting to watch your process of creating the base. There is a lot to squeeze on to the base! Those flags do look good. 👍
Excellent video yet again, really love seeing this take shape. I know nothing but I do feel that 10 figures on that base will detract from all that lovely Warwick work you did, keep it simple and put the attention where it’s needed, great work..
Hi Martin, please do not take offence but when you planned to paint the coat of arms on the livery I thought that you had gone mad, but you have excelled yet again. This should be an insperation for all of us, well done mate
Great stuff Martin, they command base is looking great and the story behind what you have done and how you have designed the models. I hope you are keeping a log of the colour build-up and where you sourced the models. Better than a painting video Martin!! Base, in a gate-way.
This was stunning, they're gunna look amazing, on the base I think having them stand on the banks of a stream would awesome, you could put t he lords and such on one side and the peasantry on the other, but perhaps with that many minis it would far too crowded, and I guess Wawicks gotta be the centre piece after all that work!
Brilliant work Martin, the figures look amazing. Quite like the two of them pointing the same way, confirming or issuing orders. A road sounds good, how about they are behind a small hedge, about to cross, hence the discussion?
After all that work it's such a shame it's the wrong coat of arms...only kidding - great stuff. If anyone is wondering the quarters represent: Beauchamp, Newburgh, Montagu, Monthermer, Neville of Middleham, Clare, Despenser.
@@7thson726 Sorry, couldn't find a fault here. One caveat would be that in the lifetime of his father (died 1460) e.g. 1st St Albans he may have born rather simpler arms such as Neville quartering Beauchamp, or even just Neville with a gold label.
Thanks 🙂 i very carefully trimmed the back of the arms and neck to remove and excess plastic from the pinning and then used a small blob of superglue for each part 👍
fantastic job. i can’t wait for the next video. just one little question, where can you find the normal banner with the ragged staff of warwick because i can’t vind that one anywhere
These are all Perry miniatures, i actually detail whwre they all came from in the preceeding video 👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5zZUugzrRUQ.html
The "strange triangles" on Sir Walter Wrottesley's arms are called piles. They may be "conjoined in base", as they are in the arms of the Bryan family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Bryan,_1st_Baron_Bryan#/media/File:Sir_Guy_de_Bryan,_1st_Baron_Bryan,_KG.png
