Back with the Knights

This time I am talking about posh dudes on horses. Yes my two boxes of mounted Agincourt knights arrived today. So after spraying the big mech knight I did a quick build of half a dozen heavies, as opposed to lights. My plan is for three heavy units and one light.

The one in the rear middle definitely has something odd going on with his visor. This came as a separate piece and maybe I have glued it on in the wrong spot, either  that or I accidently moved it before the glue set it in place.

One thing I haven’t noticed with the Perry plastics is a lot of flash (apologies for the naff pic). All of the human sprues had some flash where tye plastic has squeezed between the two faces of the moulds.

Top left and bottom right are really obvious here. On the other spue the torso top right had a huge fan  from the top of his helmet to the lower back.

I shall hopefully carry on with these tomorrow.

Building a Knight

So you would imagine this is some of my Agincourt forces. You would be wrong, this is a different kind of Imperial Knight.

I helped my son build his 40k version. This is one of a pair. It still needs it’s armour plates added, but he wanted these left off to paint the legs and weapons.

Second one will be done tomorrow. I have run out of metallic spray paint so we will need to do a run into Lerwick ASAP.

The Whole Force

Well okay there are technically three forces and some interlopers!

So on the left we have the Hundred Years War English and on the left the Hundred Years War French. Both boxes have Wars of the Roses cavalry, heavy in the left and light in the right. The English box also has Aragorn leading a detachment of rangers…

Sadly I didn’t have time to flock everything this evening.

We will be playing Lion Rampant tomorrow.

While I was looking for this lot I came across my original dwarf from Heroquest… I had even painted him, sadly forgot the base though!

Next to him is an original goblin I think. I am sure the Advanced Heroquest had a shield.

All Done

Well that is the eighteen infantry and six cavalry painted. It was a bit of a rush job, but I got there this evening. As I said yesterday, they won’t win any prizes, but they are done apart from the bases. I will get those done tomorrow.

So here they are with the paint still wet…

I am just hoping that the ones in the shed that I think are done are actually finished. I will find out tomorrow.

I would have done it this evening, but I am knackered and really cannot be bothered.

I will add them all together and see what they look like. I know the crossbow men are in a specific livery, I think I have some liveried spears too.

Panicked Painting Progress.

Well I eventually got started on the pile of plastic for Saturday. Six mounts and six infantry finished.

My son worked hard on the mounted gendarme on the right too.

So that leaves me with twelve foot and six cavalrymen to do.

Will mine win any prizes- nope but they are getting done and that is all I want.

I have actually got some Agincourt mounted knights in a shopping cart somewhere, I just have to remember which site I was on!

Painting Panic

Well Loreil Softvale is on hold for a few days. Thule Gamers is having a big game on Saturday and I said I would go along.

Now I could borrow miniatures, but where is the fun in that soooo.. I decided to break out my unfinished Hundred Years War Agincourt miniatures and try and get a force from them…queue panicked music…

This is what is left… oh yeah the cavalry are Wars of the Roses… the cavalry wasn’t our when I started these… easier to paint though. My son said he wanted to help so tomorrow we begin.

Goblin Frog Riders

Well as expected I printed the three missing frog riders, and because I can never ever leave any space on the build plate I added a couple of Gallian men at arms.

I even managed to choose ones I hadn’t used before… (pure fluke!)

But because it is me then I decided to print another half dozen men at arms!

Sadly I didn’t feel up to painting and didn’t even try. Not sure if I will manage tomorrow as it is the school leaver’s assembly. I probably won’t be up to much.

Busts and Goblins

Well I retried the bust from yesterday and she came out fine. Obviously the bed had moved and needed re levelling. I now have four to choose from.

The two grey ones are Tytan Troll. The guy on the right is from the Curse of Strahd (some D&D adventure I think). I thought the goblin with the top knot looked funky. The smaller of the undercoated one was a free one from My Mini factory…. Diego Irrazabal. This one printed in five sections. Base, torso, head and the two arms. The big one is from Miniatures of Madness. She is Mizzy the Articifer. She has a matching 32mm miniature and diorama too.  I have her through the tribe. I get one bust a month. This one came through that.

I also mentioned goblins… well here are my swamp goblins so far, by so far I mean ones that I can find.

My KR cases came today… luckily I have goblins as I messed up the sizes. Yes I could have probably sent it back, but these sort of fit and to be honest I can use the inserts fir my 15mm armies.

I just have to decide which bust I am going to start tomorrow. What do you reckon? left to right:

  • A- goblin
  • B- Mizzi
  • C – Armoured Girl
  • D- Bloke in the hat

Until tomorrow…

A Busy Boy

Well after a totally Shite day work wise I came home and decided to be productive.

This lot are now finished, apart from some form of symbol on the two banners and shield  (oh and the green one needs a shield).

I know green is a bit of a rare colour in these kinds of fantasy miniatures  but this isn’t Brettonia so the green rule doesn’t apply. Interestingly enough after the 13th century green was actively avoided into the 15th century. It came back in the 16th, long after people had the need for it on a shield.

So I had a mooch about and got out the medievals I could find…

I might actually have more somewhere.

I now need a lot more commoners!

Actually to be honest, I really need to ask myself… do I really?

My original plan was that each knight had ten to twelve foot. So I would need about another fifty or so to paint! Obviously if I have some unpainted ones lying around then I will get them done.

I also painted some 6mm ork chariots and did a bit more on the bust. I tidied up the painting  cupboard and made another covered (Duck tape) cat food box to store some extra Speedpaints in.

Woohoo Painting Achieved

This evening I christened the painting table and managed to throw some paint on some of the (started) knight miniatures.

I have actually repainted a few bits as well as adding some fresh colours.

Now I have started having a smidge of an interest in painting a bust or two. Because I am a pillock I will give the one coat paints a go. The beauty of the printer is that if the result is naff then I can print another if I don’t just respray it.
