A New Model Army

So, I´m back! It appears Blogger has changed some settings which I´m not yet used to, one being how to set up the text, I can´t work out how to  left align the text.Any way.. after a long break, explanation underneath, I´ve decided to create a small medieval army which will be under the command of one personality. My usual carry on is to paint up a boss kniggit, maybe have a standard bearer and one or two men-at-arms but this time I`m going for a complete army. As far as possible most of the bods will be conversions..at least headswops,  unless I haven´t painted the bods in thier original unconverted form before....or as far as I can remember wether I did or not. 

The boss, Sir Bodard. His Coat-of-Arms is inspired from a recent Video game. The bod is from Valdemar and he´s had a head swop.

Of course,the boss needs a fool to keep him from getting carried away and a trumpeter to announce his presence

Planned for the army, which will have a "uniformed" look,  is;

The boss with his cousin and thier command - Signallers, Standard bearers, Advisors

Mounted Men-at-Arms

Dismounted Men-at-Arms

Ranged weapons - archers, artillery and maybe crossbows. 

A Peasant Levy

A Camp / Supply 

 

Oddly I seem to have managed to get the text to sit properly although the font seems to have changed.  

No Idea what I did but it appears to have worked.

So why was I away. Nothing to do with the flu or a bad cold but work injuries. Work injuries which led to not being able to paint but then having time to read and do online courses..Philosophy, medieval history, so something good came out of it all

First I smashed the middle finger on my right hand, triple open break. Looked way worse than it was.That took a few weeks to get over.

Then I bust my pelvis. Not too bad but sitting was quite literally a pain. One thing, one gets a small insight into how life is for people in wheelchairs. 

Then I  broke the ring finger on my right hand which took 4 OP´s to fix and still isnt properly fixed. I gave up with any medical treatment 3 months after the last OP and went back to work. My hand has about 50% mobility and its taken a while to restart painting..at first all I could manage was 10 minutes before the pain was too much but recently It´s getting easier. 

Anyway, I´m not intending to break or damage any other body parts for the foreseable future and I´m glad to be back :-)
