Here are the War of the Roses releases for this month. Most of figures of the two commands can really be used for either side, unless you look closely at the SS collars (not the Nazi type!) on one or two of the Lancastrians.The bombard and mantlet were made by Tim Adcock of T.A. Miniatures, and very nice they are, too!WR 12 - Lancastrian command on foot (Henry VI, Prince of Wales, Somerset, Oxford, Buckingham and Longstrother) new (A) - £6.00 GBPWR 13 - Yorkist command and Warwick on foot (Edward IV, Warwick, Fauconberg, Hastings, Gloucester and Salisbury) new (A) - £6.00 GBPWR 14 - Men at Arms/Knights standing with polearms new (A) - £6.00 GBPWR 15 - Men at Arms/ Knights attacking with polearms new (A) - £6.00 GBPWR 16 - Bombard (includes bombard, mantlet and 6 crew)(D) - £16.00 GBP
Here\'s the third part of this month\'s release, and a few plastic hussars!7th HussarsWhy gunners in fatigues? It\'s possibly more common than first thought. One of W.H. Pyne\'s excellent sketches from 1802 shows the gunners with the heavier duties stripped down whereas the rest are in regimentals.BH 45 - Royal Foot Artillery loading 9 pdrThe very talented Jim Bowen painted guns and crews here, and in the first batch shown. The equally talented Chris Adcock painted the 7th Hussars shown here. They had just been completed, and we thought it would be rude not to show them.British and Hanoverian Army 1815BH 47 - Royal Foot Artillery loading 5.5in.
