The traitor Stanley! Boo hiss. Much as I've hated the man since childhood, there's no doubting he's got a great livery. I chose a slightly darker / duller green than I've used elsewhere (for Henry Tudor, for example), as putting two bright colours together can make the miniatures look a little garish.
As the archers turn left-on to loose at the enemy, the dull green makes them almost camouflaged. Appropriate for a turn-coat... ahem. I went with dull or white hose for the most part, again to offset the orange / tawny of the jackets.
Badges are again a departure from Citadel Six. The gold eagle's leg is done in two shades of ochre, and works better on the front (dull green background) than it does on the back, where the ochre sort of 'disappears' against the tawny.
Usual mix of poses, as I try to show the front rank 'loosing' and the rear rank nocking / shouting / standing around.
