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.
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
