I thought it was time to do an update with my progress painting The Barons War figures. I took up the 'Paint what you got' challenge set by Dave Stone on his blog at... https://wargamesculptorsblog.blogspot.com/
My aim was to paint all 24 serjeant foot figures that I got for Christmas by the end of February and I am very pleased with my progress so far. I have assembled and undercoated all of the figures and made a good start with the painting of them. All shields, flags etc are hand painted as usual.
Six serjeants with falchion and shield.
Six crossbowmen in padded armour.
That means I am half way through the challenge with plenty of time left.
I have also painted a few other figures and suitable scenery.
Mounted version of Sir John de Lacy with his banner bearer and another mounted knight.
(I have seen three different versions of the de Lacy heraldry).
All knights need a tent to get changed in, here is Sir John de Lacy's.
(plastic tent from ebay).
Happily we play our first game of Barons war on Tuesday and I am really looking forward to it.
Those are excellent!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, I am enjoying painting them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting, I've always been in awe of your hand painted heraldry.
ReplyDeleteAnd well done reaching half way in the Challenge
Thanks Mister C, once complete these figures could see action in Barons War, Lion Rampant and even Warlords of Erehwon.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on all the models, really enjoying your crisp and precise heraldry on the models, which is no small feet in it's own right.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I have opted for some of the simpler designs, I am painting a shield with 3 choughs on that look more like chickens at the moment. Need a repaint on that one.
DeleteThose look excellent...very crisp 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim.
