From KentG: 28mm Templar knights and peasants & cavalry (230 points)

This week we are sticking with the medieval theme

My daughter and her husband gave me two boxes of 

Wargames Atlantic foot knights, so I thought for the first 12 I’d 

Do knights Templars to go with the cav I did last week.

I took a day off work and spent 9 hours painting them 

It was a blast and I have to admit I really enjoyed the build and paint

I added a bit of green stuff for some belts to put shields on their backs 

Hopefully the video work I did on how to paint them will come together so 

I can share on YouTube later down the track, I hope you like them as much as I do.

For the guy above I cut the lug off his hand which was designed to hold the shield

Cleaned it up put little holes to help it look like chain mail then added a little ball

Of green stuff on the top of the handle, cut the top off the sword scabbard and 

Slotted that under his hand, this is my command figures for the wee group

As you can see I’ve added a banner, I printed out a low resolution 

Banner which was black red and yellow and just repainted the flag 

Black leaving the cross adding a few dots and some dark grey shading, I think it looks ok.

The chaps below a more figures By Wargames Atlantic For Barons wars

Age of chivalry, this time a wee commission, funny thing is two boxes 

Of these turned up with a few other boxes from the team at Wargames Atlantic 

For me to paint so this was a good test, 

They will make for a good band of peasants and I look forward to fielding my own 

Babble rousers

Lastly 5 mounted knights all Perry metals only 5 more to do 

Once again really enjoying the shields they are a challenge but also a joy to paint

Ok so we have 

36 x 28mm foot @ 5pts each = 180pts

5x 28mm cavalry @10pts each 50pts

Giving a grad total of 230pts for this week.

From Millsy:

Another great addition to the growing pile of crusaders you've been showing off Kent.

Having heard you talking about the Wargames Atlantic peasants I've been keen to see them painted up. You've done a fine job, balancing muted colours and visual interest really well.

The crusaders are very fine indeed and I really like your treatment of black which is much smoother than my own efforts. Maybe it's just me but the chap with his helmet under his arm bears a strong resemblance to the Snowlord himself...

230 more points to your increased tally. Nice one mate.

Cheers,
Millsy
