Anno 1329

My personal contribution to the 1329 Teutonic Diorama..
40 nags - (22 with riders)
271 bods - Soldiers and civilians
9 wagons/carts
7 mules, 4 Dogs, 1 ox,  and 3 pigs.
10 sleeping kniggits and 12 empty beds
1 fireplace, 2 chairs, 17 tables, 18 benches and a heap of pots and bowls













Hospitaller Knights

From Valdemar -  VM062 Hospitallers.
Just to get my hand and eye back into painting medievals.

Two Templar Knights.
Poor fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon
The one on the right has  the colours are the ones used on thier Battle flag but they look good and make a change from the red cross on white.

Knight of St Thomas
Hospitallers of St Thomas of Canterbury at Acre

Knight of St John
Order of the knights of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem

Knight of St Lazarus. 
Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem
I´ve painted these before but as Foot Bods (HERE)

Weapons (swords/Mace), shields, sword sheaths (both empty and with sword) and the head of the downed Nag,  are all seperate.

When painting the nags I advise choosing the final colour scheme and painting the underside before attaching them to a base. Not only is  the underneath of the Caparisons visible (not so well in the pics) but the legs as well.

Legs. A couple of the Nags are posed with just two hoofs on the ground. I used a Pattex Perfect Pen, which  contains Loctite Super Attak gel. Takes a few seconds to hold and a few more minutes to dry but it works on Metal to metal, Metal to card, plastic.

More mixed Kniggits

This lot came more or less painted but I´ve  repainted bits and pieces and based them.

A mix of C-o-A´s, some based on reality, some, as far as my Research has led me,  made up.

The ones with a base in reality.
The three black bars on yellow? Used by quite a few places and People. The town arms of Inchy-en-Artois, Puygouzon, Beutal or the Family arms of Corbel Corbeau de Vaulserre or Kielmansegg among others but the Dates aren´t certain and some appear  after  the medieval period  or later.

The black Lion on Yellow. One of the Counts of Flanders..in this case a son due to the cadency mark, I´ll go for Robert III  Count of Flanders as he was of Fighting age during the life of his Father Guy of Dampiere . Orginally he was Holding a lance but I swopped his arm.

I found one or two Patterns which could fit the C-o-A of the bod in the middle, ie; John Lovel, whose C-o-A appears in the Falkirk Roll.  Barry wavy, or and gules but his has eight "waves", not six as shown and starts with yellow at the top, not red. 

The one on the left of the pic is Valdemar (resin) The other 2 are metal and unknown make(s)

Geoffrey Fitzgeoffrey de Mandeville and Geoffrey de Saye

Another two Magna Carta suretie Knights and their nags..easy enough paintjob.
De Saye, Quarterly, or and gules..yellow top left, red top Right
De Mandeville, the oppposite, red top left, yellow top Right.

Added to the Medieval Lords and Ladies list bringing the total up to 113. Another 12 are yet to appear but no longer will they be restricted to the 12th-13th centurys.
This new lot will go into another direction entirely..still showing the Coats-of-Arms of some famous Knights, some of which everyone has heard of and some that hardly anyone has heard of..or forgotton.
Guesses?

Gilbert de Gant and friend

Another two dismounted kniggits and thier nags , this time a  Fantasy Coat -of- arms on the right  and Gilbert de Gant, Earl of Lincoln, on the left.

Gilberts´been added to the Medieval Lords and Ladies list

Mixed Kniggits

No particular Coats-of-Arms, more or less "just for fun"
Valdemar bods and one of the nags is from Italeri
