From BrendonW - Hoof power x 5 (50 points)

4 x Conquest Games Norman Knights and 1 x FireForge Mongol on horseback. All Plastic 28mm.

The Norman Knight kit is great value as you get 15 inside and a casualty. Most cavalry sets are usually 12 like the FireForge mounted Mongols. Hopefully by the end of this challenge I complete the rest of the Normans from the box and more Mongols.
All the Norman shields are hand painted designs. The shield with the boss is actually one from the infantry set as the mounted ones are boss-less and slightly larger overall.






I have plenty of half painted miniatures on my table so next Tuesday might be a slightly bigger submission if all goes well. The way I work it's not unusual to have spent an Hour and a Half painting only to have to used two shades of brown. Oh well.

Cheers from Brendon

Paul & Alan: 5 lovely GGs to add 50 points to your total Brendon!

  1. A splendid job on them all. Such a clear contrast between the Normans and the Mongol. But all look absolutely splendid.

  4. I really like subdued and weathered colors, Brendon! They still look vibrant and colorful, but a more real world matt-finish without the gaudy bright. Very effective! ;)

  8. Can't fault your work on the shields, Brendon - cavalry are always tricky for me, but if I could do horses half as well as you have, I'd be happy!
