Greetings of the Season to you all.
My first entry for Challenge XVI and for those that follow my socials, it's probably unsurprisingly more Wargames Atlantic figures for the growing Barons' War collection.
Having no figures at all for this I picked up some at Partizan back in May and have been running a production line ever since, now stands at 400 figures strong, more than enough for two armies for our Midgard games set in the Second Barons' War.

I paint in batches of four figures and this post represents four batches so you'll see the same colour ways repeated a lot in this post, but once added to the rest of the force they blend into rest.

The standards are hand painted on sticker paper then plasticised with Mod Podge to give them a bit of life and durability.

The Wargames Atlantic sets are great for kit bashing, these Militia are bodies from the Peasants set with arms and some heads from the Serjeants set.

| Sir Walter D'isney? |

The final figures is not a Wargames Atlantic, I'm pretty certain it's the Partizan 2024 figure for Sir Walter D'isney, but I may be mistaken. If you recognise it, please do let me know.
There are load of spare shields in the Wargames Atlantic sets, so I always paint a few more in each batch and use them as stamina markers in our Midgard games.
These figures represented the last of the Wargames Atlantic from my backlog, but family were very kind and more Foot Knights and Peasants were left under the tree.
To get my score rolling, four 28mm mounted and 10 28mm foot should put 90pts on the board.

First, Paul, welcome back to the Painting Challenge!
I admire your industriousness on this project. 400 figures completed since May is very impressive, especially at this level of quality. This assortment you treat us with is lovely, displaying your signature clean brushwork and punchy colour palette. We look forward to your Christmas reinforcements in a future post! Well done!

Great work as ever Paul - wonderful to see you back in the fray as you work through that great haul!
ReplyDeleteLovely looking medieval types. I like the contrast between the bright flashy colours of the Knights and the more humble palette of the Serjeants.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful retinue I really like it
ReplyDeleteGreat work on those. I look forward to seeing the whole mob put together.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking retinue Paul!
ReplyDeleteWow - really nice. I need to see this like I need a hole in the head - Baron's War is so tempting.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent little force, Paul! I really like the livery you did on them as I struggled making my knights look sharp in the past. These are very striking! The Barons war and guards of traitors toll are two games I have been looking at, it is wonderful seeing some great samples of the minis!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures Paul, awesome to see you back in the sadle!
ReplyDeleteExcellent medieval selection Paul
ReplyDeleteWow, loving these! I’ve been tempted by the Barons wars over time.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, those lines in particular are beautifully applied.
ReplyDeleteAh, very nice work on a very interesting period.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, nice kit-bashing and painting. Very tempting indeed.
ReplyDeleteGrand job there Paul
