SeanS - 10 Foot Knights, 15 Peasants, 1 Mounted Knight - 208 points

Hi All,

I'll spare you all the angst. Let us never mention the debacle of Shieldgate  2017 ever again.

I am pleased to present to you, with a day and a half to spare even,  9 foot knights including standard bearer (90) + Baron (33), 15 Feudal Levy with Bows (60), and one Noblesse D'Epee (25) for a grand total of 208 points.





I decided for all the lesser knights to keep the heraldry simple. The Baron, in the center, is the most complex.


A better look at the banner. I had intended to paint an ermine pattern in the white space, but wanted to be done so I skipped it. I'm also dubious of the chances of the banners surviving the trip back home. As you can see they need an edge touch up.


I put all the original GW sculpts in front for this picture of the peasants, then mixed in the Foundry and plastic Bretonnians. You can see better here that I painted the whites of the eyes, but not the irises. Again, trying to maintain my blood pressure.


As with most of my figures, I hate them until the very last steps and then I'm ok with how they turned out. As usual, I make up for my lack of talent and imagination with sheer stubbornness.

Thanks for looking.
