The french army is nearly finished. When I was looking at the next planet in the challenge, I came next to the Deathstar. Now, when I think of the French Knights, they seem perfect for the theme of Hubris. Since I needed to paint some anyway, they seemed like the perfect way to continue my journey.
Without delay, I present the unit of French Noble Cavalry.
Like the rest of the army, these are made from the Perry Plastic boxes. The cream of the army, these were, like most of the Perry models, really fun to assemble and paint.
I have also painted a unit of "Brigans", light infantry with Long Spears. These are, again Perry plastics
In total, this comes to
5x28mm Cavalry =50pts
10x28mm Infantry =50pts
Death Star Challenge Points =20pts
Total of 120 points.

Wonderful work Dave! 'Hubris' and French cavalry (of pretty much any period!) seem to go hand-in-hand. Good one!

Good work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and a great interpretation of hubris!
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation of the theme and nice painting! Who is the golden knight?
ReplyDeleteIt's not based on a historical figure per se. I was reading that gilded armour was a thing, and it seemed like a reasonable way of marking a leader.
DeleteMakes sense, thanks.
DeleteLovely work. You just cannot beat the HYW.
ReplyDeleteNice kerniggets and brigans, Dave! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on these Dave 👍
ReplyDeleteRegards KenR
Fantastic Frenchmen, Dave. Golden armour seems the very definition of Hubris.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Dave, this army is coming together quickly.
