From PaulSS: Barons' War Knights - 105pts

 

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 .

  2. Snazzy!

    It looks like the perfect collection to game with, and the period just begs for a long-running campaign with lots of role-playing opportunity.

  3. Impressive painting Paul but what's also really nice is how good they look as a unit on the larger bases
