[Mister Rab]

What great heraldry! I really like these, KOTLP

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

Thank you I take a lot of these from 3rd ed Bretonnian publications.

 

[Chico]

Great stuff mate, can't believe how long you been cracking on with this project now though

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

Yes... me neither... the plan was much shorter...

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

The last 'regular' knight of the historical models is done, the next two will be unit champion and standard bearer before moving on to the fantasy style models.

Enjoyed looking through this project. I like the work a lot. Nice freehand heraldry especially on the curved/uneven surfaces. The vikings look great too!

 

[Plaiecivile]

I have been following this project since the beginning...and I am a big fan! You delivered good quality
material in a very consistent way for now more than 2 years!
Keep up the good work and promise you will show us army pictures

Thank you. I am always very critical when it comes to my freehand skills, so praise is doubly welcome

You delivered good quality material in a very consistent way for now more than 2 years!

Do you have to point out that time span...?

Keep up the good work and promise you will show us army pictures

I will

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

This model took me some time but I finished it today. With the flag I cheated
a bit (it was scanned and printed from an old White Dwarf), but the rest of the
model is painted completely freehand. I would have liked to get the lion heads
especially more consistent, but this is the best I can manage...

Anybody having an idea, based on the standard bearer, what the unit champion
will look like? And where the paint scheme of the standard bearer comes from?

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

The unit leader is done as well. I am not really happy with how all the fleurs turned out, but what you see here is the umpteenth try...

 

[Golgfag1]

I wouldn't worry too much about the Fleurs their perfectly formed in my opinion given the amount of space you're trying to fit them all in, try to paint fewer - you're more than likely being particularly hard on yourself after painting them numerous times and brain rot set-in.

For free-hand work your hitting the mark fairly well - as the basket weave is easy on the eye. As for your unit champion use the banner as inspiration, but don't quarter, half, that 'll give you more room to paint the detail on the model.

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

Thank you for the tip Paul, I have twelve more, so plenty of room to apply it Also thank you for easing my mind on the free hand topic.

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

The unit based on the historical models is done, the last part was to add static grass to the bases.

On to the next 12 knights based on Black Tree Design's fantasy models.

 

[Subedai]

The hard work paid off spectacularly, they look marvellous!

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

Thank you very much

 

[Tullaris]

Those knights look absolutely fantastic

I love the standard bearer. That white dwarf article where they showed theirs is one of my all time favorite articles, and yours just makes me happy as a result!
