  1. Great commander! In looks at least, which is what's important for a commander really. Reminds me of a Flats vignette . Magnificent!

  3. Really awesome paintjob, Aly! Is it a premonitory sign that De La Pole is turning to harangue his men and there is no one behind him?! Good luck in the battle: let us know!

      His men have obviously rushed past him in their eagerness to get to the enemy.

  7. Did you opt for guidon to create a sense of movement? He really should be the only one using his heraldic banner (the one your men at arms units are carrying) - but I must admit I often go for aesthetic over historical.

    1. In the rules my leader is actually part of the Man at Arms unit…
      But I wanted to portray him as a separate piece for visual effect…
      And of course he had to be glorious with the biggest flag 😁

      All the best. Aly

  8. How did he fare in the battle? Did he dance to the enemy's tune? That's a lovely command stand Aly, great banner too.
