With 2 full armies in the paint queue, I finally got around to tidying up some of the odds and sods that had been cluttering my paint table for, well, in some cases, many years!
The ends results are eclectic, and not all done in Contrast Paints either (to make a nice change!)
First up, some dynamic falling knights from Donnington's 100YW range, based up as exuberant hit markers
Next, and the main batch, some 28mm metal knight figures of unknown (ie unpainted on a Bring & Buy) origin.
I've used waterslide transfer paper and my home printer to make the symbols for the heraldry so that's why they look so precise - my painting hasn't suddenly improved !
Irritatingly a bit of ink wash seems to have congealed on this guy's shield.
They are done up as Spanish Knights, with Castile and Leon heraldry
And a few other cities and statelets too
I really like these figures - they came with separate hands to mix and match weaponry
One unit is in non-Spanish colours
I've had this guy hanging around for ages, but drilled out his hand and added a Valencian flag
More weirdly, these are some sort of random armoured horsemen on what I am pretty sure are old Essex Han Chinese chariot horses, painted up as African Kingdoms mounted warriors or cataphracts
The padding really helps create a bright and unusual looking unit.
I did also add some cotton as horse-hair style pennants to differentiate the Elite from the Average ones.
More random stuff to come soon!
