The Loose Association of Wargamers

With news that Foundry are intending to resurrect the 15mm Burgundian range later this year am I right in thinking that this was the range many people used for the Wars of the Roses? Or was there a standalone WoTR range in 15mm.

(This feels like something Gary would know )

I'm fairly sure the Burgundian range is the one people used for WotR as well. I did persuade Foundry to cast some to order when we were there for the Lion Rampant weekend and they are lovely figures. If I hadn't already got a shedful of 28mm stuff I'd be tempted to get some.

Do you know when they might be available? (Asking for a friend )

It might be a range that will push me into doing WoTR for the first time after decades of interest!
I made an enquiry to Foundry directly and their response about the range was:
"The Burgundian range will hopefully be available this year as we are going to have the production moulds remade."
So fingers crossed for something nice for Christmas and a 2024 project!!

I have a feeling that the Perrys (or one of them at least) sculpted that range. One of their rare forays outside 25/28mm.

I'm fairly certain you're right on that

Given Foundry prices it might be cheaper to do it in 28mm from elsewhere...

I recently bought three Footsore Late Saxon figures from Arcane in Nottingham. They are priced at £4 each. Even for Matt's work I thought that pricey...Foundry are far from the most expensive figures out there you know.

Ouch. Even the rank and file figures are 2.25...Foundry 2.00. Everything is so bloody expensive now!!

Just as well that the Lead Pimple is replete with stuff then...

Spoke to Alan yesterday (about something else) and he confirmed that both of them sculpted that range. Never seen any of them "in the flesh" - anyone got some piccies?
