From my place I can see where the Abbey across the water was burned down (on Christmas Day), the castle that had to be retaken with the help of French forces, and the city itself, bombarded and set on fire by Henry's fleet.

I think it was referred to as "rough wooing". Or "vandalism" depending on one's POV.

Which crown? And I reckon burning down an Abbey is a bit more than throwing a rock through a window? Doing it on Christmas Day just seems to be unnecessarily adding insult to injury...

I also have the curious feeling I picked up the Osprey on Scottish Renaissance armies at one stage. Better not go look at it, after all, I have no figures and no rules, what could possibly go wrong?

(especially as I have now officially started painting the 1745 figures... two whole horses got their basecoats.. yay!)

Burning down an abbey is just a form of self expression. Who hasn't wanted to barbecue religionists?

Continuing with the Warbases Limestower I put to one side several weeks back. This time I’m experimenting with weathering with oil paints. This is burnt umber. It looks very glossy as you have to have a gloss base when using oil paints so you can manipulate them with white spirits. I’ll matt it down when done. Before and after photos for comparison. Only the right hand edge tiling has been weathered. Intentionally built a bit rough as it’s going to be mostly for Arthurian games and I want to have holes in the roof and grass growing out the top

Calling that done

Excellent!!
