Love the look of the muted colours .. Blend nicely with those flags ..impressive look !

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thank Ray 👍

[@kevinpreston4818]

Great show as per usual! Just bought the Fearless myself - my whole fleets based on nostalgia! Intending to fight a solo game I played many years ago in my younger days where loads of ships were trying to force their way through a narrow waterway. Shades of the Dardanelles!

[@YarkshireGamer]

It's such an iconic model, A must have !

[@mobileandhostile7895]

⭐️ muted palette on the pikemen is excellent, along with the flags you chose they are truly evocative - lovely work ⭐️👍

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thanks very much 👍

[@peterschief9778]

Great stuff on the basing sizes and configurations. Thanx as I’m slowly building my Italian Wars foot units and have been wondering about basing.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers Peter 👍

[@philRminiatures]

Most beautiful pikemen, wonderful painting...and splendid flags!👍👍

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thanks very much Phil 👍

[@ShaunTame-re5us]

Cracking mezzo pike block! Enjoyable vid, thank you.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thanks Shaun 👍

[@garyclarke4889]

Howdo Ken - a heads up on the Perry Elite figs - they convert very well into Young Guard Voltigeurs, and if you combine the corded shako heads & swords with Line Batt box you can make Young Guard Tirailleurs!

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers Gary 👍

Oh I happened to have recently finished that book you mentioned. The book and the story of the Black Bands is quite interesting

[@YarkshireGamer]

Lots of good detail and research in there, well worth a read

[@Corvinuswargaming1444]

@@YarkshireGamer I agree

[@darrinstanaway8943]

Excellent work on the figures mate very impressive

Great episode. Looking forward to seeing your board at Salute 👍

Cheers 👍

[@eatingweevils]

I visit Halifax regularly always comeback with several boxes of figures from Modellers World a place full of plastic temptations

[@YarkshireGamer]

Wonderful shop !

[@eatingweevils]

@@YarkshireGamer at the moment I'm painting 130 172 scale figures but not a patch on your painting skills. I'm itching to get em in a game I've been planning

[@lazypiratepainting2947]

Those pikemen look absolutely amazing, the flags are great, lovely work sir 👏👏👍

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers 👍

[@MedievalWargamer]

Beautiful Pikemen and amazing banners!

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thanks very much 👍

[@The_Ben_M]

Lovely stuff mate, just getting into the Italian Wars and have no idea where to start!

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers, it's a great period to game, but can be a bit daunting with sizes of units etc. Happy to help if you get stuck.

[@The_Ben_M]

@@YarkshireGamer Cheers mate, any recommended reading on it? I've ordered a couple of books already!

[@YarkshireGamer]

The classic Oman History is always a great place to start. All of the Helion Italian Wars books are worth having as are the Ospreys.

[@martinradcliffe4798]

Bradford City shirt- genius!

[@YarkshireGamer]

Genuine 16th Century Bradford City shirt 😆

[@martinradcliffe4798]

@@YarkshireGamer Don't doubt it! A collector's item, even then.

[@DaLavenderhillMob]

Ahhh that soundtrack 👌 I miss compo

[@YarkshireGamer]

Total legend 👍

[@TheEccentricMan]

Certainly look the part. 👍

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers 👍

[@NSYresearch]

Ooo.... I thought one of those lads had an Addidas trackie top.....

[@YarkshireGamer]

Probably one of those in there as well 🤣

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Most excellent work

[@YarkshireGamer]

Many thanks 👍

[@roguetrooper5401]

I agree with you my toys I will do what i want although being from the deep dark south end of the country I am not sure if do one is a technical term up there in the wild lands

[@YarkshireGamer]

A most used phrase 🤣

[@theconversationalpainter2020]

Is that 3mm MDF for the base?

[@YarkshireGamer]

No it's 2mm, I only use 3mm for the ships that I do as the bases are larger and more chance of them warping 👍

[@wc9109]

Nice small pike block 😂

[@YarkshireGamer]

You mean, unfinished Pike Block 😆

[@ruckandmaul5018]

Errr....that's not 96 figures!!! Still very nice though.😉

[@YarkshireGamer]

Err..... that's not finished either 🤣

[@ruckandmaul5018]

@@YarkshireGamer Oh alright then! I'll let you off. See you at Salute. DCRB

[@ryan.1990]

What kit is that pikeman unit? Anyone know?

[@YarkshireGamer]

I mentioned it in the video, it is partly the Perry's Mercenary Plastic Box Set and figures from their metal European Armies range 👍

[@ryan.1990]

@@YarkshireGamer Right, didn't realise you'd already said! Thanks and excellent job on them
