I present the last of my crusaders, for these eight mounted horsemen are the final entry of what started out as a 'quick' project for SAGA back in 2015. Various elements of this force have featured in all four of my painting challenges, so I will be a little sad to see the back of them. Although I have to admit, it's great to finally put a 'finished' stamp on this project (as long as I can ignore the voices whispering - "Just a small mercenary unit, it will add a bit more colour to the force, it won't take long at all...").
These eight 28 mm scale figures are all from Gripping Beast. They're a Milites Christi army representing forces of the Knights Hospitaller, with some Knights Templar allies to add a bit of colour and variety.

Lovely stuff- congratulations on finishing a project, and thanks for including a group photo! I really like the earthy tones- without being drab- and the arid bases- without being plain.

Nice work Stephen and congrats on *finishing* your warband :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome Steve! Great to see them all together.
ReplyDeleteAh, the fabled 'finished project'. Congratulations on reaching the finish line, and with such a fine looking unit as well.
ReplyDeleteSome mercenaries WOULD look cool...just saying...
ReplyDeleteGreat work - love the setting, and excellent painting!
They look great Steve! Cant wait to see them knife through one of Alan's SAGA armies soon :-) And having just finished my DAK force I quite understand the contented sigh that a "project done" brings!
ReplyDeleteNice job, they are crusaders arenext up on my SAGA list.
ReplyDeleteReally nice gritty looking bunch of crusaders. Love the final group shot.
ReplyDeleteWow, they really look terrific Steve. Hard, dusty veterans all.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work! That last group shot really is the bees knees! And you know what? The nice thing about Saga is those Mercenaries won‘t take that long 😉
ReplyDeleteThat's a very fine looking collection!!
