Making this post took a while with all the counting so more have been added since. ...and I´m missing some, Celtic cavalry for instance.

Knights of the Round Table (Pt 7)

Merlin and Guinevere.
I was going to give Merlin a nag with caparison so I could use his C-o-A , Sable, a fess Argent, 3 owls argent, a made up set of arms but what isn´t about the Arthurians Coats of Arms.
Anyway, I decided against it and he and Guinevere are mounted on normally tacked nags.

Guinevere riding side saddle? This is High medieval fantasy so why shouldn´t she?

The Merlin bod is from the Dark Alliance´s Half orcs on Wargs set . He was originally holding a bomb in his Right hand but I´ve removed the fuse and made it into a Crystal ball.
Could he ride a nag whilst Holding a staff in one Hand and a Crystal ball in the other? Of course he can, he´s Merlin!!
Guinevere is a Valdemar bodette from the Medieval Lovers set and her nag is from Odemars Carpentum set.

Incredible dio time. 1/35th scale "Sturmpanzerwagen 563 "Wotan"
Bods scratchbuilt, the tank super detailed, (interior as well) HERE
I´ve got this listed among my top ten favourite dios
The build thread is worth a look as well

Knights of the round Table (Pt 6) Arthur

Arthur Pendragon
A difficult one as he´s got s few different C-o-A´s attributed to him;
1. Azure, thirteen (or ten) crowns or. 
2. Three gold crowns (2 and 1, or in pale), usually on azure but sometimes on gules,  
3. Vert, a cross argent, standing on its dexter arm the image of the Holy Virgin and Child     also argent.  
4.Quarterly; 1 and 4, Quarterly or and vert, a cross argent; 2 and 3, 
5 . Gules, three crowns in pale or. 
6. Azure a cross or.
7. A golden Dragon which was also borne by his father, Uther Pendragon and the dragon also formed his Standard. 

I went for three crowns (in pale) on a red Background.
His nag. I could find the possible names of it, Llamrei, Hengroen or even Passelande but as to it´s Colour or markings...Nothing. 
Degore or Sir Tegyr. Not a lot of info on this guy.  Gules, Hart Passant or

The whole gang (so far). Bedivere, Brunor le Noir, Bors de Ganis, Galahad, Gawain, Hector de Maris, Kay de Seneschal, Lancelot du lac, Percival de Galis and Tristram de Lyons.  

This lot, with the other recently painted mounted bods, makes another 25 to add to the Massed Medieval Cavalry, which gets  Pretty close to 500 mounted kniggits and sergeants.

Knights of the Round Table (Pt5)

The Arthurian bods haven´t been forgotten

Sir Brunor le Noir. Argent Lion rampant gules
His C-o-A is also describes as having White Background but the Lion is chequered in black and red. Not only is this very difficult to paint (as my attempt Shows) but the colours won´t show in this scale

Sir Gawain Purpure two headed eagle or

Bods and Gawain´s nag from Tumbling Dice, Brunor´s nag from Italeri.

That makes ten Round Table knights..boss and another yet to come to complete the main 12 but more are planned.

Knights of the Round Table (Pt4)

The next two
Hector de Maris .(Left) Younger half brother of Lancelot. Argent, 3 bands gueules.Soleil azur.
Galahad.(Right)An easy C-o-A  Argent, cross gueules. 

Knights of the Round Table (Pt3)

Two more, which makes half of the main characters.
Tristram de Lyones, Vert, a Lion rampant Or 
Kay de Seneschal*. Azure, two keys erect  upwards  and outwards argent

*Steward
       

Knights of the Round Table (Pt2)

Another pair of round table kniggits. 

Percival de Galis  Azure*, semy of plain crosslets or.
Sir Bedivere  Or, a gonfanon of three  points gules.

Percival on the left, Bedivere on the Right.

Ok..shiny kniggits in full plate armour to represent the characters from the Arthurian legend? 
I know, I know, the Story is supposed to be set in  post Roman Britian but TBH, I don´t like  the   "we missed the last Galley" Version. It may be historically accurate for a handfull of   them (the lesser known ones that is) to go running about defending wall forts alongside Kiera Knightley covered in blue marker pen but the round table would have  been very small, more an occasional table than much else.   

Most of the main characters appear from the 10th Cent onwards, Gawain, Percival, Tristan, Galahad, Bedivere, Bors, Percival etc and I doubt they would have been sporting Toys R us style Roman kit as  worn by Clive Owen in the 2004 film King Arthur. 

Even his arch enemy Mordred didn´t appear until some 200 years after Arthur was supposed to have been waving his Scimitar About. .  He would have been Pretty short staffed, most importantly missing his main knight, Lancelot,  who didn´t appear until 1170..
Arthurian = Knights in Shining armour!!

*The original says Purpur rather than Azure but the it looked a bit odd so I went with blue with a dab of red rather than full Purple. 

Why the heck most of the text has a White Background I don´t know. I´ve tried removing it but it just won´t "untick"

Knights of the Round Table

Another Project, along the lines of Painting the Coats-of-Arms of the Magna Carter Knights.
This time only 12 in total..the ones that sat at the table but there´s quite a few others so I might just add one or two others along the way.

Knights of the Round Table

I´m taking the C-o-A Patterns from the Heraldic society´s page as there are other versions for one or two of the characters, Bors being a good example. He is shown (as in the link on his name) as having dárgent and two bendlets Azure but in sinister on a window at St Cuthbert´s Church, Holme Lacy (Here)
The Bendlets being sinister and therefore not common could either be a mistake on behalf of the window maker* or deliberate as to distinguish Bors from the normal way of Things.  Anyway, it ain´t on the Heraldic Society site so of no interest.
Well, it was a wee bit interesting but not relevant seeing as I´m sticking to one source for sanity´s sake.


First up, Bors de Ganis. (Right)Son of King Bors, so Bors the younger but commonly referred to in the legend as King Bors. Ermine, three Bendlets gules
Lancelot du Lac. (Left) Argent, three Bendlets gules. His C-o-A is also shown as having one or two red Stripes on White.

The kniggits and thier Nags are from the Revell/Accurate French Knights set, the riders are converted. Obviously thier armour is a wee bit "modern" for the modernist supposed time of the Arthurian legend but I don´t really  like  the post Romano depiction. IMHO, they were Knights in Shining armour not a bunch of "we missed the last Galley out"  Legionaries so I´ll be using bods from across the Medieval  time period shown at PSR:

They will be added to the list on the Medieval Lords and Ladies Post as even though they are the stuff of Legend, Robin Hood is already there so why not?

*Sorry, Glasier
