From KentG: Medieval foot & cavalry (230pts)


These first figures are the second half of the Wargames Atlantic 
Plastic foot knight boxset, so happy I have another box  paint as
I really enjoyed painting these
Painted them up as William FitzGeoffrey de Mandeville retinue 
For the  banner I cut out a Norman banner for the shape
Then just painted the yellow and red on them like I did the figures
I got the patten off a flag from the barons wars range.

I know next to nothing about paint figures from this era so it’s all new to me
Not sure I’ll get to the next box before the challenge ends but you never know




Next up is the last of my Perry crusades minis 
I have a few foot left but they were extras you know when you make a purchase 
Get the boxes and think I didn’t order two of those, look back and go
Opps



A few French knights a part of a ongoing commission 
Always just little bits come in every now and then



Lastly 12 archers from the Wargames Atlantic peasants boxset
Two of the minis were sent to me with their hand around the wrong way
So I painted the hand to look like it was done correctly 




So this week we have 

11 x 28mm cavalry @ 10pms each 110 pts
24 x 28mm @ 5pts each 120 pts
So total of 230 pts


From Millsy:

Another high quality batch of medieval goodness to fest our eyes on Kent! Wargames Atlantic must absolutely love you mate, every time you show off something you've painted it a free marketing bonanza and no mistake.

The Perry Miniatures stuff is also very nice and you've done them proud. Their horses have a very distinct look to them (not a bad thing, they're lovely) but you can clearly pick them out vs. other manufacturers.

230 more points it is. The way you can consistently produce that kind of number is impressive indeed!

Cheers,
Millsy

    1. Not sure if its madness or just the fact that I do this nearly every week for the past 20 years

  3. I really like these paint jobs - the normans are vibrant yet the colour choices are complimentary so they are not garish while the french have a fantastic tone to them.

  5. The quality and quantity you pump out is amazing. Love the medievals, looks to me that you know quite a lot about painting this era. However, faves are the earlier knights.

    1. cheers, i better be a good advert as they have started sending boxes for free, 5 turned up which is cool but a lot of work on top of the commission and my own figures, after the challenge ends probably be another year before my figures come out again to be painted
