The Green Knight

This was an interesting project, one that combined a number of different elements.

The base was the first piece, which you can see in this facebook live video:

The flags were created by taking sticky printer labels and wrapping them around the poles.  This made them very flexible but sturdy, since there were now 2 layers of that printer paper, stuck together!

These views show a little more of the waterfall base, made of bark and branch.

As far as the color scheme goes, it was pretty traditional Green Knight fare, but with a twist of the fluorescent green sword.

Forged in Fire

A few boxes of FireForged Games miniatures arrived last week.  Here is an unboxing post.

This set of Teutonic Knights contains 12 mounted figures, with options for full command, alternate heads, and so on.  The price is outstanding for what you get!

They can be found on sites such as the War Store for under $30, which is incredible.

Right out of the box.

Since the figures are part of their own game system, the bases are different from the usual cavalry bases.  However, if you are going to use them for another purpose, it's not terribly difficult to find or make the needed bases :-)

The sprues are well organized, and you get an instruction sheet as well.

Horse sprues.  They are slightly smaller than a certain other company, but they are well sculpted and very solid.  I can't wait to get some of these together and start painting.  Some surprises in store for you though. :-)

The second sprue of horses...

And the rider/weapon sprues.  There are a variety of different helmets, which is very cool!

Here's a close up of that sprue.  Again, plenty of different weapon options here.

Here's the next box I will show you... stay tuned!

Bretonnian standard bearer and hero

These are the only two Bretonnian figures I think I have done.  I look forward to painting an army, with each night having his own colors and heraldry!  I had a lot of fun freehanding designs on the shields... such as teh face of the Lady.
