First Crusader Base!
« on: November 17, 2017, 09:03:10 PM »
Hi all,

I like to share with you some pictures of my first base of an ongoing basic impetus project. I was asked to paint them quite generically but also based on the "Kindom of Heaven" Movie.  ;) Figures are from Gripping Beast. Banner & Shield designs are from LBM but the Knight of Jerusalem and Hospitaller Lance Pennants were done by hand  ;)

I hope you like them. Any comments are very welcome  ;)

Kind regards

Sascha

Beautiful work Sascha, as always. I've long been a fan of your painting style.

I did start giggling to myself though, for no good reason, when I looked at the guy in the middle with the shocked expression on his face and imagined him saying, "Marjorie? is that you?"

Very distinctive. Are you going to paint Marjorie as well?

I had the impression the Hospitallers used red pennants from a very early stage, though I speak under correction.

A superb paint job indeed, though I'm not entirely sold on the figures : there's something about the sculpts that looks a bit off to me, though I can't quite put my finger on it (a certain chunkiness perhaps ?).

These are wonderfully painted. I would have thought that the Saracens were a colourful force, but you prove that crusaders can be too! I love that knight in Jerusalem heraldry.  :-*
