The retinue of Sir Ronald De Barker C13th Knight
« on: December 21, 2018, 09:47:33 AM »

Inspired by Silent Invaded to paint up a knight and a small retinue for a game at this years BLAM I have fallen back in love with the Medieval period and have extended the size of the Retinue.

I’m going more Hollywood than history so please don’t point out any inaccuracies these are just for fun. Lots a chivalrous deeds, saving damsels and vanquishing evil.(They’ve just Been in action in a game over on the Gothic Horror board.  ;) lol)

Sir Ronald De Barker on foot and mounted is a Crusader miniature as is his Sergeant. The retainers are all Black Tree Design.

I have no idea where this will end up, I’m aiming for three groups and a mixed bag of other knights. Ideally i’d like to have enough for a game of Lion Rampant but who knows when I’ll butterfly off to something else.

They were a lot of fun to paint although Sir Ronald’s shield was a challenge. It doesn’t look to great enlarged here, better seen from a distance. lol

Nice work,I think they look great  :)
However, you'll need some peasants with pitchforks or "forkhandles" though  ;) :)

Great brushwork. But I always thought the crest of Sir Ronald was... Four Candles?
