K&M Trees, and standards and banners

I’ve been looking at K&M Trees web site for a while, waiting for an opportunity to actually see their trees up close.

K&M had a stand at the  Legionary Wargames Show in Exeter, so I went along on Saturday to have a look. I can report that these trees really are lovely – the images on their web site don’t really do them justice.

They had run out of bases for the trees, and while ordering these I inevitably succumbed to a few more deciduous trees and some fir trees.

I’m looking forward to modelling these on bases.

I bought a fourth box of Perry Miniatures’ plastic Wars of the Roses Infantry, and on opening I noticed that the booklet had different flags from the others I have.

I now have the following (grouped by leaflet):

Battle of Wakefield1460
– Richard, Duke of York’s standard
– Richard, Duke of York’s livery banner
– Edmund, Earl of Rutland’s banner
– Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury’s banner
– Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland’s standard
– Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland’s livery banner
– Lord Clifford’s banner
– Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter’s banner

Battle of Towton1461
– Edward IV’s standard
– Edward IV’s banner
– Edward IV’s livery banner
– Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick’s banner
– William Neville, Lord Fauconberg’s banner
– Henry Beaufort, Duke of Somerset’s standard
– Henry Beaufort, Duke of Somerset’s livery banner
– Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland’s banner

Battle of Bosworth1485
– Richard III’s standard
– Richard III’s banner
– John Howard, Duke of Norfolk’s banner
– Henry Tudor’s standard
– Henry Tudor’s livery banner
– William Stanley of Holt’s banner
– John de Vere, Earl of Oxford’s banner
– Sir John Savage’s banner

I wonder how many different sets there are.

The first K&M Trees … of many, I suspect.
