Tudor Allies

Currently I am working on a small allied contingent of English troops, these will be composed of;

8 bases of longbowmen (24 figures)

4 bases of billmen (12 figures)

2 bases of border horse (2 figures)

2 bases of demilancers (4 figures)

C in C, Henry VIII (4 figures)


So far I have Henry;



There isn't really a decent range of figures for a Tudor army of the period so for this base I used Wargames Foundry gendarmes (which are perfect) along with two marching Landsknechts painted to represent Yeomen of the Guard which I think work quite well also, I chose a larger base than the usual 60 x 40 mm as I wanted a centrepiece and this really was a labour of love, 6 weeks in all.

I wanted it to be something of a challenge and it that it was. Henry is based upon a painting of the Battle of the Spurs, this clearly shows him in some detail although his horse is obscured so for this i used some imagination.
