Recently finished a Feudal English DBA army (Book IV list 23). Notwithstanding his reputation amongst English kings, I opted to paint the army as Edward II's host at the Battle of Bannockburn, 1314. It was fun to research the heraldry of the knights there present. The figures are by Essex (with some Corvus Belli peasants mixed in), painted in acrylics and gloss varnished as usual.
