Wow. Just started painting my first box of Burgundian mercenaries from Perry and it's pretty inspirational seeing you paint this amazing heraldry. I may pick characters with simpler livery! Thanks v much for sharing

[@7thson726]

Haha yeah, it was a nightmare, but I had sort of challenged myself to do it. Glad you liked it 👍😁

[@basement1908]

Holy crap Martin! That is frikking Amazing! Besides that one diamond being 0.000000003 mm to far to the left, its perfect 😂😂😂😂😂! Thank you for sharing your process!

[@7thson726]

👀 right, now I can't unsee that 😅 Glad you like it buddy 😁

[@TheAlwaysPrepared]

That coat. You are a madman sir! Beautiful pieces. Thanks for the video.

[@7thson726]

Haha you're not the first to say that 😁

[@samuelclarvoe7177]

To call that mini a triumph would be underselling it. Beautiful, beautiful job.

[@7thson726]

I really appreciate that, thank you 👍

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great stuff Martin, they command base is looking great and the story behind what you have done and how you have designed the models. I hope you are keeping a log of the colour build-up and where you sourced the models. Better than a painting video Martin!! Base, in a gate-way.

[@7thson726]

Thanks Leslie, I'm really glad you like it, it's been a joy to work on 👍

[@davidcollins2648]

Excellent job on the heraldry. "I'll call it a knight" too.

[@7thson726]

Haha, see what you did there, cheers buddy 👍

[@donmchugh8052]

That has nearly as many miniatures as a unit. Fantastic job on all of them, going to try a few more coat of arms on my knights. Great inspiartion.

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate, I'm really pleased you like it 👍

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Fantastic job, love the final assortment of relatives and retinue you chose to base together; that heraldry is perfectly recognizable despite the scale (and despite having been quartered and halved so many times by his generation it wound up looking like a family history quilt)

[@7thson726]

Thanks, im really pleased with it, glad i walked away when i did 😁

[@royb1966]

Cracking video, absolutely superb painting the colours really do ‘pop’, love the Bishop figure👍🏻, I think I would have gone with cannon, but see your point, can’t wait to see the completed base👍🏻

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much, i really enjoyed painting the bishop, its a simple figure but I think it adds something to the overall look of the base 👍

[@paulbenson9015]

Awesome job on the coat of arms Martin! I agree with losing the cannon, too much going on. Bring on the next vid👍

[@7thson726]

Cheers fella, shouldn't be too long 👍

[@9999paden]

your painting is awesome Martin really enjoy watching all of your videos your eye for detail is amazing cant wait to see your finished base

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much, hope to have it finished soon

[@callumlee1218]

Very nice work, best representation of Warwick I’ve seen to date

[@7thson726]

That's awesome to hear, thanks very much 👍

[@ThisNameWasntUs3d]

That command base is so full it's going to need its own stamina value. Impressive stuff Martin!

[@7thson726]

Hahs this is true, it is bigger than some of the units 👍

[@granapriego]

Very nice Martin I really like just about every thing you did. I just got a new tv and testing the you tube function I watched your video in 4K. It really makes the colours stand out.

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 🙂 ah man you can probably see every shske of the hand at thst resolution 😅

[@charliecoundon3975]

Hi Martin, please do not take offence but when you planned to paint the coat of arms on the livery I thought that you had gone mad, but you have excelled yet again. This should be an insperation for all of us, well done mate

[@7thson726]

None taken at all, thanks very much, im glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@paulspaintshed3511]

Absolutely fantastic paint job mate you've knocked it out of the park!

[@7thson726]

Thanks fella 👍😁

[@WeightofFire]

fantastic stuff on the heraldry and painting. also great to see and hear your thought process for base composition. have loved this project

[@7thson726]

Really appreciate that, thanks 👍😁

[@gorram]

Really impressive job of the coat of arms, don’t know many people who would have gone to that effort but it looks so good! The whole retinue are looking great, looking forward to seeing your next video in the series. Can honestly say, as a Scot, this is a period of history I know very little about but it has been fascinating following along.

[@7thson726]

Really pleased your enjoying the project, thanks for the comment, hopefully the next part will be up in a week or so 👍

[@robandrosehobden3344]

👍👍👍done amazing job well done 🤠🤠

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍

[@reecedignan8365]

Amazing looking paint jobs there. I especially love how much detail you went into with the coats of arms - many just make them semi-right lines and dots to represent vs going into a form of trying to make them detailed and stand out to the correct coat-of-arms. As for suggestions for next week when your putting the base together: I agree with keeping the two sides - the No name bannermen on the right and the named on the left. I’d have him and his man facing one another discussing as it looks much better - his actions more come off as if saying “this way sire” or “are you sure that direction?” and Nevil just pointing “there!” As for his two guardsmen, I’d have both near his back with both flanking his sides, or both together - the other night falling in behind his companion with the banner as if ready to leap between the Kingmaker and banner to protect it/steal the glory/even recover it. And I’d maybe have the dogs stood beside the “help” - why he might be a bit cross. The “help” behind the brother having to babysit the dogs/actually be close to the action where he can be killed.

[@7thson726]

Some excellent ideas, definitely like the "help" babysitting the dogs. Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍😁

[@marctitley7020]

A great blog and fun to watch

[@7thson726]

Thank you 👍

Figures look amazing. Great work mate.

The way you've done his face is really giving me a Sir Gadabout from Zog vibe for some reason!

[@7thson726]

Haha now i can't unsee that 😅

[@lionheart3916]

Fantastic work on Warwicks livery 👍 you have more patience than me lol looking forward to the finished base

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate, should have him done next week 👍

[@jerseyowl]

Madness! I am so impressed with the detail. Are you sure he didn't have an "away kit" that would be easier to paint?! You are an inspiration to us all Martin.

[@7thson726]

Wow, thanks so much 😁👍

[@chriswareing1991]

wow amazing dont know how you did warwick so small and detailed incredible work there martin great job, i would have no chance

Took a long time but the Earl looks awesome 🤩

[@7thson726]

Cheers mate 👍

[@stevebuk100]

Excellent video yet again, really love seeing this take shape. I know nothing but I do feel that 10 figures on that base will detract from all that lovely Warwick work you did, keep it simple and put the attention where it’s needed, great work..

[@7thson726]

Yeah i feel that way also, but im going to play about and see what i can come up with 😁

[@paulmackay3070]

Well done Martin!!

[@7thson726]

Thanks Paul 👍

[@norm977]

Thank you, very interesting …… I will take more care on my next commander :-)

Excellent work mate looking good 👍

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 👍😁

[@fogh]

Superb work on coat of arms - looks great. Very interesting to watch your process of creating the base. There is a lot to squeeze on to the base! Those flags do look good. 👍

[@7thson726]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it, there is a fsir bit, going to play about with multiple layouts 👍

[@Olaf-carlsson]

So good. Brilliant content 👍

[@JackSargePainting]

Well done Martin, your creativity and thoughtful approach to the hobby continues to inspire.

[@7thson726]

That means alot, thanks 👍

[@rickrussell8382]

The coat of arms came out great. The armour and face complement the arms. He will definitely stand out on a large base with that many models.

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍 glad you like it

[@edwardstabletoparmies955]

That looks fantastic. I know how long you've been wanting to do Warwick. Well worth the wait.

[@7thson726]

This is true, thanks very much 👍

Martin my friend the planning into this is just wonderful,and it's something beautiful you've created.justin

[@7thson726]

Thank you mate, i really appreciate that 😁

[@BrushQuill]

Brilliant work Martin, the figures look amazing. Quite like the two of them pointing the same way, confirming or issuing orders. A road sounds good, how about they are behind a small hedge, about to cross, hence the discussion?

[@7thson726]

Cheers buddy, i like this idea, if not on this base I'll certainly add it to another 👍

[@blahblah-hw3xg]

This was stunning, they're gunna look amazing, on the base I think having them stand on the banks of a stream would awesome, you could put t he lords and such on one side and the peasantry on the other, but perhaps with that many minis it would far too crowded, and I guess Wawicks gotta be the centre piece after all that work!

[@7thson726]

Excellent thoughts, certainly given me a few ideas 👍

[@dr8576]

After all that work it's such a shame it's the wrong coat of arms...only kidding - great stuff. If anyone is wondering the quarters represent: Beauchamp, Newburgh, Montagu, Monthermer, Neville of Middleham, Clare, Despenser.

[@7thson726]

Bloody hell mate i nearly cried when i started reading the comment 😅😁

[@dr8576]

@@7thson726 Sorry, couldn't find a fault here. One caveat would be that in the lifetime of his father (died 1460) e.g. 1st St Albans he may have born rather simpler arms such as Neville quartering Beauchamp, or even just Neville with a gold label.

[@vonketteringham]

Great brushwork, rather you than me! ☺

[@7thson726]

Cheers buddy 👍

[@jacobrichards5141]

That coat of arms looks amazing, cannot imagine the patience that went into it! How did you stick Warwick back together after painting?

[@7thson726]

Thanks 🙂 i very carefully trimmed the back of the arms and neck to remove and excess plastic from the pinning and then used a small blob of superglue for each part 👍

[@peezebeuponyou3774]

Martin- you're gonna need a bigger base! Lovely work.

[@7thson726]

You can always use a bigger base 👍😁

[@zaynevanday142]

Pretty sure my ancestors the Ensor’s of Rollersby fought in the War of the Roses 🌹

[@7thson726]

That's very cool, i need to get back into my family tree 👍

[@yvdam8506]

fantastic job. i can’t wait for the next video. just one little question, where can you find the normal banner with the ragged staff of warwick because i can’t vind that one anywhere

[@7thson726]

Thanks, there is one in tje oerry kits and there is one woth the Petes flag set 👍

Great work but...gonna need a bigger base!!!

Yeaaah, thinking that as well 😁

hi Martin could you give me some pointers on painting french line infantry cheers

[@7thson726]

Hi there, any particular manufacturer, if they are in great coats that makes everything easier 👍

[@leefisher6766]

Well, very good young man.... very good. May be a model or two too many... hope not!

[@7thson726]

Hopefully not but we'll see, im happy to reduce models if necessary 😁

[@benpuggy217]

What are these miniatures called from where what box

[@7thson726]

These are all Perry miniatures, i actually detail whwre they all came from in the preceeding video 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6u9hqidr9eFi7M

Are these Perry Miniatures’s ?

[@7thson726]

Yep all of them

dude. how

[@7thson726]

Haha, I ask myself that every time I look at the model 😅

The "strange triangles" on Sir Walter Wrottesley's arms are called piles. They may be "conjoined in base", as they are in the arms of the Bryan family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Bryan,_1st_Baron_Bryan#/media/File:Sir_Guy_de_Bryan,_1st_Baron_Bryan,_KG.png

Excellent, thanks very much for the info and link 👍
