Got some more stuff finished today, old bretonian models for use with SOBH.

reworkes the bases on my favourites:



painted a grail knight for fun  (too bad the picture doesn't pick up the subtle highlight on the barding):



some men-at-arms:



a few archers:


so 11 models finished, not counting the rebasing:

230 models finished!

[petercooman]

Also have a picture of them on a tile:




This is a 500 point warband for SOBH,really look forward to trying them out!

[Norm]

prolific work Peter. The figs on the tile look great.

[petercooman]

Thanks!

Have another batch of classic bretonians to go through, will paint those up in different livery. That way they can fight togheyer or against each other as rival lords.

[Techno]

Great work, again, Peter ! 

Cheers - Phil

Good steady progress

[petercooman]

Thanks!

Any suggestions for the next batch? I'm thinking green-white livery, or red black.

You really are cracking on with getting stuff painted and based, and hopefully played with?

Is the knight on the right hand end a GW Bretonian one? A plastic or metal figure?

[petercooman]

He's a classic brettonian foot knight. Very hard to come by these days.

If you like some in a similar style, black tree design make a few under the "men of averaign" tab in their fantasy range.

[petercooman]

Thinking about it a bit more, the blister I got him in20 years ago said "grail knight hero on foot", not foot knight.

Foot knights were no longer in the army list by then so was probably renamed.

I remember him slowing the entire unit down, because in those days the warhammer rules made a model on foot with armour take a movement penalty, and the unit moved at the rate of the slowest model 

[FierceKitty]

Funny, that. Nobody seems to impose movement penalties on armoured units these days, myself included.

[petercooman]

think it has something to do with 'streamlined' rules.

Most rules these days go with standard moves for troops, cavalry and sometimes a faster move for skirmishers.

found the foot knight, appears to be a hero from 1997

For the men of averaign from black tree:

Thanks - I was just having a look at those. Most of them are cavalry though, only a couple of foot knights. But they certainly have the style of the GW figures.

I do quite like the classic Citadel foot knights (going back another 10 years probably!!) and 100 years in style too. These are still available from Foundry. But really I don't need any more 28mm figures. I've piles of Perry plastics to finish off, including lots of Men at Arms (which are effectively knights!)

[petercooman]

I probably don,t need more either, but you know, variatio doesn't hurt   

[petercooman]

Finished the rest of my knights last night. Took forever!

the musician was already painted.







A lord and his banner bearer



pegasus knights




So adding 10 models to the tally

240 models finished!!!
