This week I’m still doing barons wars minis all from Wargames Atlantic,
Some of my most favourite minis to paint at the moment,
I was going to do some easy generic knights but then got a little
Carried away spending 8-10 hours each on two of the figures which are the first
two below, All these knights I have a foot knight already painted in my collection.
This knight below I had already painted the same pattern on a Victix knights miniature
But was a little concerned that I wouldn’t be able to replicate it on this smalls miniature
But once I put my mind to it there was no turning back, every colour even the tiny squares
has three layers to it, one of the tricky parts was adding all the black lines on the checked pattern
This next knight drove me rather mad to start with and it took two weeks
of having it sitting on the table to realise I needed to go for a darker first blue
As I needed three layers but not a bright or light blue finish
In the end the hardest part was getting enough of a flow on the silver grey fine lines
either side of the thick line and keeping it as close to the same thickness as I drew it across the folds of horse rider and shield, in total there are 18 thin lines on the miniature and far more wee lions once again all in three layers
Anther generic knights which I have foot and mounted sergeants and foot knigh
To go with
The hardest part on the figure below was just getting the striped
Pattern to look consistent, it was a little harder than I thought
Below is generic minted sergeants which I can use to any side
I now have these in mounted and foot with a knight just above, I have another
Box of these which I’m not sure I’ll get to.
Below is crazy horse eye the wee beasty is in a rather nasty frame of mind
I don’t normally paint eyes on my foot but horses I do I think they just add enough
To make it worth while,
Well that’s another week down really happy with these figures
Pts wise

Gorgeous brushwork, Kent! I look at these beauties and are affirmed in my resolve not to do this period due to the heraldry. Wowzers.
