After last weeks Peasants and Drunkards it's time to add some more punch to the faction^h^h^h^h^h^h force (sorry Ken) with a couple more units of 13th Century foot knights.
The figures are from the Wargames Atlantic box, but many heads and arms are swapped out from other sets like the Foot Serjeants and Mounted Knights.
Standards, shield and livery are all hand painted in this batch.
I do seem to have overdone it with ziggy-zaggy shield designs this time, but they will all blend in with the units when these are merged with the rest of the collection.
Several of the Knights have livery surcoats but quite a few are just done in plain surcoats with embroidered designs.
I've really been enjoying painting the figures for this collection, but having blasted past the 500 figure mark I should probably not be painting any more, but I do have another forty or so ready and have you seen the imminent new sets...
Twenty 28mm figures should add a nice round 100 points to the total.
From DaveD. Another solid set for the Barons war from Paul. Lots of great colour in there . Why stop at 500 surely 600 is a better number! All that hand painted shield work is excellent as well . So 105 it is .
Great work. The army will look impressive on the field.

DeleteSnazzy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the perfect collection to game with, and the period just begs for a long-running campaign with lots of role-playing opportunity.
Thanks Robert, we have been play testing a Barons' War campaign for Midgard, so far have done Northampton, Rochester and Lewes
DeleteMarvelous work here Paul.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce
DeleteLovely stuff, Paul.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks
DeleteImpressive painting Paul but what's also really nice is how good they look as a unit on the larger bases
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry, I'll try to get more units posted like this over the next few weeks
DeleteLoving those chaps Paul, I hope to attack my next batch of French nobles soon
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, I look forwards to seeing them
DeleteBeautiful work. The shield and surcoat designs are amazing.
