Aww, thanks everyone! Regarding the painting, I really must admit that I think Nick Collier's sculpting and GW's washes do most of the heavy lifting.

Anyway, as a special Christmas treat, I've quickly painted up a Saint Nicholas mini. I declare it relevant and on-topic for this thread because Nicholas of Myra is venerated by the Eastern Orthodox churches.



Fun. Are you sure he should be in red, not white, however?

A perfect photo to end Christmas.

Or is their pay?
I am sure the troops will be happy. ;)

You're probably right! However, being pressed for time, I just replicated the color scheme on the box.

Meanwhile, here's more feudal cavalry. All TAG except one converted from a GB heavy Arab cavalry kit.

They look great! Warlike and in aggressive poses! Well done!

Hi all, now that I've cleared up my Xmas stuff and painted two more light musketeers, it's time for group photos!







There's more on the way, but this is a full 24-point Pikeman's Lament force and I think that's worth documenting. Apologies for the missing standards and proxied commander...

Love them.

Well, it's been a while (thanks 120-day warning!) but I have a new batch of Muscovites!







They're kitbashed from a mix of medieval Arab, ECW, and WSS cavalry kits. Regardless of their historical tactics, I'll probably field them as Trotters to contrast with the feudal Gallopers already painted.

Awesome painting. Thank you for sharing. I have them in 15 mm, but these miniatures really show why 28 mm is the real deal. Any chance for some close up shots of you peasants?


Cheers

Thanks for the kind words!

Here's a kitbashed commander I just painted up:
