Your basing is absolutely fantastic! I love how you use the tufts with the basing texture paste. And the muddy puddles with the water effects show up nicely, too.
Very nice, I'm currently finishing off Northumberland, but also now adding Somerset and Exeter. I'll probably stick on three major commanders and then add the odd unit of minor lords and knights.
Stunned dom!....completely stunned at the amount of worked you managed to get done in over a week. They look awsome and some great info on them aswell. Love the pike men aswell obviously.🤣 Keep up the great work dom! 😁👍
I'm painting for Tewkesbury, so a nice balanced collection for Edward IV and Somerset....... once that's done, I'll add troops for Barnet, giving me Warwick and Salisbury. That will eventually become a single force for the Yorkists when I go further back and paint Lancastrians for one of the battles between 1460 and 1471.
excellent - I was originally planning to follow a command from Northampton but then with Brother Ken picking up the period had to switch a bit so now just doing commanders I like and who's heraldry I can attempt!
Really nice figures Dom I do wish you guys would stop all this different army building I'm so tempted to buy some but I have enough with the naps ,ECW and now fantasy with my mate I really don't want to start another force . Take care glad you enjoyed your holiday building figures I can only imagine the response I would have received from the wife if I said I'm going on holiday and taking 5 boxes of figures to build . Take care Terry
I watched this because I’ve just embarked on my own project in the period. At the moment my forces consist of a single box of the Perry WotTR infantry, the first sprue of which I’m presently cleaning up. I assume the Martin you refer to is the owner of the Seventh Son channel, which I’ve recently discovered. I have his amendments for Hail Caesar, but I’m planning to use Test Of Resolve, which is actually what prompted me to begin the project, though I’ve always had an interest in the period, probably dating back to when I used to cross the bridge from which Richard III’s body had supposedly been thrown into the Soar on my way to and from school (one part of which, unknown to any of my history teachers, was adjacent to his grave). One thing that struck me in your description of your forces was the mixed units of bill- and bowmen. These are not featured in Test of Resolve, in which companies are either armed with missile or melee weapons. This is clearly something I’m going to have to delve into before deciding how to organise and base my figures.
yes 7th Son. In his adaption of Rick Priestley's own adaption of Hail Caesar the main units are combined bill and bowmen. Typically we have one stand of bill and two if bow in the unit which works pretty well in games
Thank you for your reply. What do these combined-arms ‘units’ represent, and do they function identically? I haven’t read the HC adaptation yet, but in ToR the battles (divisions) are comprised of companies, each of exclusively melee or missile-armed troops. I’m sure that in reality any given contingent would have a mixture of troop types, but it doesn’t follow that in battle they would fight together. This didn’t happen in the 100 Years War. I don’t know whether there is an ongoing debate about this as there is in relation to Japanese armies of the Sengoku period, so I’d appreciate some guidance on where to look for clarifications on this point, if possible.
Wow... Impressive army! Very inspiring to see, well done. What supplement you on to achieve painting so many in that short time? Dont forget to buy all vallejo european thick mud from all your local stores. 😀👍
Really nice work Dom. I have been tempted I can not deny. Maybe one day. I do want to get some kind of army to play hail ceaser with at some point. And although I love Romans the opponents would be the problem. Something like WOTR looks a lot more down my street.
Fantastic work Dom, I did see your work on plastic crack. Fantastic 😁👍
Thank you so much 😀
Your basing is absolutely fantastic! I love how you use the tufts with the basing texture paste. And the muddy puddles with the water effects show up nicely, too.
Thank you so much!
I’m always stunned by how quickly you paint and to such a good standard as well. It takes me ages to paint my figures!
cheers but 3 foot rule and an obsession to get them to the table!
Still resisting. Lovely work as always
stay strong ;)
Lovely work on these Dom. They look really sweet.
Many thanks!
Very nice, I'm currently finishing off Northumberland, but also now adding Somerset and Exeter. I'll probably stick on three major commanders and then add the odd unit of minor lords and knights.
yeah that's a straightforward way for sure. If I didnt badger Martin for details on the minor lords I'd be doing the same!
Stunned dom!....completely stunned at the amount of worked you managed to get done in over a week. They look awsome and some great info on them aswell. Love the pike men aswell obviously.🤣 Keep up the great work dom! 😁👍
gotta love the pike eh Miller?!
You’ve been busy Dom. Very impressive. 🙂
Very!
Martin got me in to it too! This put my ACW,AWI, Napoleonic 1815 and Rorke's Drift projects behind. Lovely job there.
#Iblamemartin :)
Terrific army . Envy your dedication to sit down and paint an army /project .
Oh dont get me wrong I get distracted like the best of us!
Love this project, cracking job mate, can't believe how quickly you smashed it out.
I think I even surprised myself this time!
Great stuff Dom, loads done
cheers Leon hope that you are starting to feel better
Very cool mate. A great start to the army.
Cheers Paul - I am enjoying it
Thank you , Dom .
You are very welcome

cheers terry - I know and I am sorry but I have an addictive personality when it comes to plastic and metals!
Fantastic looking miniatures Dom very inspiring I like all the flags you used and the wet marshy look on your bases looks great 👍
cheers mate - I wanted grubby and dirty as that's what I imagine reading the histories!
Fantastic effort for a weeks work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful put together troops, the guy with halberg stands out from the crowed.
cheers mate - yeah I like a few with a bit of variety in the ranks
Well done Dom, very impressive. Great and interesting choice of retinues. Any Mounted to come? love it, Keep going and yes...we all blame Martin!
That's the plan! 12 Mounted MAA done since this and just working on some mounted archers next
They are some beautiful figures mate
cheers pal
Great looking project Dom, temptation once again!
cheers Fraser, yeah zero willpower for plastic and metal.....
Cracking Job Dom really like what you've done...must get back to my own WOTR project
cheers Sean, I am really loving doing these
Well impressed astounding work for a week ……… great work Dom, JP
cheers JP - not to your standard but I am happy
Amazing speed getting those boots on the table where they belong
they dont fight in a box unassembled!

I’m doing Earl of Northumberland at Towson and Fauconberg.
Nice I think Brother Kenneth is doing Northumberland too
WOW....just WOW..........yep....WOW
lol cheers Shaun!
Paint them in one week 👍👍👍mate
Thanks
Wow... Impressive army! Very inspiring to see, well done. What supplement you on to achieve painting so many in that short time? Dont forget to buy all vallejo european thick mud from all your local stores. 😀👍
cheers Nic - funny enough I just placed an order for more of the mud - just in case you understand!

Yes I am very excited to try the Priestley WoR variant of Hail Caesar
I bet you dare not watch any of Martins videos for fear you'll come away with a new project.
Edit: those figures and lovely!
trouble is he keeps sending pictures on our chat.....
great pikemen dom very niceeeee
cheers we all love a pikeman or 24!
Fantastic work Dom ,what was the colour used for the longbows I would like too copy it mate 👍
