The artwork on the back of the box really doesn´t do this set justice, they are very very nice. Hopefully this will be the same for the next set, War of the Roses 9. European Mercenaries Light Horse.
12 bods and 12 nags. 6 individual poses for the bods, and my only complaint, and it´s a small one, is there are too few horse poses..only 2.
The horse armour. Historical "purists" might be thinking "English cav mostly went without armour on the horses.. no chanfrons (or not commonly) , crinets, mail, peytrals and cruppers" so I´ve painted this lot up as Richard´s Bodyguard ..so that´s my excuse for all the armour.
The "purists" could use the nags from the Redbox Scurrers or any number of other medieval sets.
Hardly any Flash that Needs removing (there´s one or two mold lines nbut easily dealt with using a razorblade) and the nags stand up after having the mold channels disguised as Little "clumps of grass" removed from thier legs.

| 6 poses but there´s 8 nags and riders in the pic? Ok..I´ve been converting again :-) |
 |
Clubs and Hammers. On the scan of the bods over at PSR (LINK) the bod on far left of the top row is clearly Holding the hammer the wrong way around. This is easily resolved..cut it off and turn (I´ve replaced it with one from a Valdemar weapons set)

| I hate painting the swirly bits on Lances!!!! |
 |
Another small (and due to the molding process, probably unavoidable) the rear part of the Lance is missing. Again, easily fixed. Bit of stretched sprue, short Piece of wire to pin it to the rear of the arm of the rider..finished.

| The only two nag poses. |
Standard bearer. Head swop with a zvezda French Knight, Florist wire flagpole, flag printed.
Lovely work Paul, especially the conversions :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tasmin. This lot makes, with the Undead cav, 28 in one month...one a day for the whole of feb :-D
DeleteSplendid, must get around to working on mine
ReplyDeleteThanks Will. They are one of the more fun sets to paint. Basically all the Armour (which area wise is over 50 % ) is highlighted with a dry brush method
DeleteReally nice! Are you going to base them?
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yes. First I Need a couple more conversions to make up a round ten so I can have 5 per base.
DeleteGreat looking WotR knights/MAA. The armored horses look great - and a good look for the kings bodyguard. Nice spirals on the lances too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. Shame the nags only have the two poses.
DeleteSplendid and very impressive knights!
ReplyDeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteGRAN trabajo en esas minis
un saludo
Your conversion work continues to impress. This is a lovely set and it it a shame about only 2 nag poses but you always overcome any difficulty.
ReplyDeleteLovely work - and those lances are superb.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the White Boar in splendor :)
ReplyDeleteA good work on nice figures !
ReplyDeleteThe armoured nags are not my preferred ones but they look good under your brushes !
(and I think that the way to show the pictures is better than the older ones!)
Good job! Well done. I love flags and coloured spears of knights!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic Paul! Love the armor and the flag! And the lances, wow, you did that very good!
