The reorganisation and refurbishment of the late medieval collection has brought about some order; each box has now a complete army.
Of the remainder, I have enough spear and crossbowmen for two Italian Condotta of 24 elements, only the cavalry and artillery need purchasing.
To my surprise, I found a further four elements of English longbowmen. Wondering how best to use them, I recalled the Duke of York was exiled to Ireland during the early power struggle and the Anglo-Irish (IV/21c) seemed a suitable option for the longbowmen.
Further searching other boxes labelled ‘extras’ I now have 11 of the 12 elements needed to complete the army.
I would say that was time well spent.

The Anglo-Irish (IV/21c) are on the workbench.
First step is to redo the bases, then touch-up the clothing and arms.
The army lack only the Anglo-Irish cavalry and suitable figures should be arriving soon.
In the meantime, I can substitute a suitable element for a game until the order arrives.
Good news, the Medieval Irish (IV/58) are done and ready to give the colonists a good thumping.

Anglo-Irish and Medieval Irish
From the reorganisation and refurbishment of the Late Medieval collection I could build an Anglo-Irish army. How the Medieval Irish came about can also be read. Both armies relied heavily on Galloglaich mercenaries during the 15th century and these figures will be ordered soon. dbagora.blogspot.com/2024/07/medieval-ireland.html

Mighty impressive work, timurilank.
Forgive me, (as my eyesight and size of image in link are not good match) but it looks like you have hand drawn and painted each banner. Are you an artist or just a dedicated flag / banner man! Its might impressive work whichever way you have done it.
When I do my own hand painted flags (not to quality of your work) I usually scan the finished sheet so I have an electronic copy in case I ever want to re-do a units standard etc..

CarlL Hi CarlL I have hand drawn and painted so many flags, the dimension of the flags are now stored in muscle memory. Medieval armies look much better with flags of different shapes and sizes and I strive to have half the elements of an army carrying them. Robert

While awaiting the arrival of late medieval cavalry from Blue Moon, I began painting a Late Imperial Roman army for the west.
Six elements of legionnaires and four elements of equites are nearly done, these lack their shield patterns.
Two command elements and heavy cavalry are the last to be painted, this will complete two commands of LIR for the west.
Twelve elements of Roman auxilia were completed in early May.

Twelve elements of Roman auxilia were completed in early May. The shields are done. Next, made an early start to clean and undercoat the last elements; 2 x gen (Cv), 4 x equites (Cv). Left outside to dry (actually bake) I completed a dozen horses, the riders will be finished tomorrow.

The Late Imperial Roman (western) are done and boxed. Photos of the 26 elements will be taken later this week.
First though, clean the workbench to prepare for tomorrow; three packs of Blue Moon late medieval cavalry.
