Hi All,
I'm making good progress with the mounted contingent of my new Crusader army. Unfortunately I'm still a way short of finishing the first mounted units, largely because I got sidetracked by this entry - the first of my command stands.
This chap is a mounted Crusader bishop from 1st Corps miniatures, painted up as a Hospitaller order and ably supported by a couple of chaps from Fireforge Games taking a crucifix on a stick for a walk. Not much more to say about this other than I had to force myself to call it finished.
I'll let the pictures do the talking...
Next up (assuming I can maintain my focus!) is a unit of Hospitaller sergeants and a unit of Knights of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Cheers,
Millsy

IT'S DA BISHOP!!
Lovely bit of work on this, Millsy. Looks like His Grace is a bit of a Church Militant... but as long as he uses only blunt instruments to make his theological points, he's in the clear!
It's vignettes like this that are the icing on the cake of a tabletop force - the basing and sense of movement are top-notch. So that's 5 points for each foot soldier, 10 for the Bish, and another point for the splendidly evocative base.
Now let's take a look at your next entry for the week; we'll just move it away from the Bishop, as I'm not sure sorcery is exactly A1 theory with his lot...

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.
