Another Wars of the Roses entry where politics, plate armor, and bad family decisions collide. The White Roses of York represent the Yorkist cause in all its heraldic stubbornness. If you want disciplined, recognizably English late-medieval troops with clean iconography and lots of room for personal flair, this set understands the assignment.
What it is
This is a historically grounded miniature range themed around the House of York, centered on late 15th-century English warfare. Expect proper Yorkist aesthetics, white rose heraldry, and figures that sit comfortably alongside other Wars of the Roses ranges without looking like they wandered in from a different century.
Scale and compatibility
These are 28mm historical miniatures and they play nicely with Perry, Warlord, and similar Wars of the Roses lines. No awkward scale creep, no weird proportions. They rank up cleanly and wonât trigger your inner perfectionist.
Detail and hobby appeal
The sculpts are crisp without being overworked. Armor plates are defined, cloth folds make sense, and surfaces take washes and highlights well. This is the kind of kit that rewards careful painting but wonât punish you if you just want them table-ready. Heraldry painters will have a good time here, which may or may not be a blessing depending on your relationship with tiny roses.
Use on the tabletop
Ideal for Wars of the Roses games, historical skirmishes, or narrative campaigns where York needs to look like York and not âgeneric medieval lads.â They also work well for collectors building faction-specific forces rather than mixed medieval blobs.
Bottom line
If youâre building a Yorkist force and care about historical flavor without sacrificing compatibility or sanity, the White Roses of York are a solid pick. Clean sculpts, sensible scale, and just enough character to remind you why this war was fought in the first place. Over roses.
