More Perry Wars of the Roses foot knights

Here's another 18-man unit of Perry's new WoTR foot knights.  If you haven't built / painted / acquired any yet, you must!  They're superb.  And very adaptable too - Burgundian Wars, Italian Wars, Fantasy gaming.  Not as many spares as in the other Perry plastic sets for the medieval period, but more than enough to give you plenty of variety.

Those familiar with Perry kits will notice I've blended-in a few components from the European Mercenaries and WoTR foot kits.  The war-coated knight in the centre front is from the Mercenaries kit, as is the wonderful deep sallet on the figure at front left.

By contrast, this base is all white-armoured men - and apart from one fancy chap showing off his Thalhoffer technique, they're armed with the popular and vicious array of two-handed polearms which were common in 15th century England.

Another splash of colour from the liveried chaps in the front row.  I've kept these liveries badge-free and varied, hinting at the minor knights and famous mercenaries who might pepper the ranks of a noble's retinue.  I think of these as being akin to the first footballers to wear brightly-coloured boots.  It's a sort of 'look at me, come and have a go if you're hard enough' statement.

And here's what they look like all ranked-up.  If I had this lot bearing down on my scrubby unit of militia archers, I don't think I'd even bother reaching for the dice; in the words of Python's King Arthur "Run away!  Run away!"
