Wars of the Roses Update Mercenary Pikemen WA Nov Challenge

An update on my Wars of the Roses project that's also my first (of what I hope will be a few) entry into November's Wargamers Anonymous monthly challenge - this month's theme is "troops".
I've painted some mercenary Pikemen using the Perry's 28mm set, which were a joy to put together and paint. My thanks to Martin from the 7thson TH-cam channel (go check him out) for his suggestions re flags & colours he gave me when I was first considering Scottish pikemen for a Lancastrian army a month or two ago.
I welcome any comments or suggestions...more on this project coming soon!

Perry Figures are so beautiful. One of the best minatures out there. I probably end up buying all their plastic sets haha :D

[@BitesizeWargaming]

I 100% agree - a pure pleasure to paint too. Thanks for watching!

[@BritishLegion666]

[@BitesizeWargaming]

They look brilliant mate, just bought a box of those myself

Nice one Simon youve done a really nice job on them I might have to have stab as doin some of my WOTT pikemen as I've hit a wall with the period and need to shake it up. But great job mate 😁👍

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Thanks mate! Got a few other projects lined up but want to crack on with this one too! Got the other half of the box to do as crossbowmen.

[@MillersMiniatures]

@@BitesizeWargaming nice one you gunna string your bows? 😉

[@BitesizeWargaming]

@@MillersMiniatures Probs not. Button counters can bite me for that one! Seems like too much hard work!

[@BootsontheTable]

Excellent job on them. Really effective looking unit

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Many thanks!

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Lovely stuff Simon. The basing is also very nice.

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Cheers dude - loving your work on the US winter stuff too!

[@norm977]

Very nice. Like the transition of the final unit between you showing it painted and getting It based. What do you use to get that lovely shading effect? An ink wash or a poly ... or neither of the above!

[@BitesizeWargaming]

I used GW Contrast paints on most of it...that might account for the shading? (...or did you mean on the bases?)

[@norm977]

@@BitesizeWargaming no, the figures. Contrast paint would fully explain, thanks, very effective.

[@maryhinge6334]

Very nice mate. I particularly like the basing on these. Really effective. 👍

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Thank you!

[@BrushQuill]

Awesome work. You have done a brilliant job on these mate.

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Cheers!

[@philRminiatures]

Lovely minis and flags, well done!

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Thanks man...I enjoyed painting them!

[@7thson726]

Top stuff mate, those look excellent. May be for the nasty Lancastrains but im sure they'll fight well 😃

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Thanks mate - appreciate it!
