Captain Blood's Perry Mounted Men at Arms. P.156 Scots pike block painted

[NurgleHH]

Great Richard,
these black-and-white-style is great!
When can we expect the first painted beauties?
(I know the problem of to less time and to much things to paint)

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all.

Dirk - Yes, I have rather a lot of painting to get done ahead of BLAM, and not very much time to do it 
So, alas, I don't expect to start painting these new figures until the end of October; although I may build a few more in the interim, because I like making them almost more than I like painting them!
To be fair, these are also the easiest to paint since they are mostly just armour, so they shouldn't take too long once I get onto them

Very well build figures Richard! I just got a box too on Saturday and started building some for my upcoming Lannister project. They are really nice figures and lend themselves to kit bashing quit well . I added shields from the Fireforge knights and a few other parts from Gripping beast sets to make them more high medieval fantasy like. Pictures will follow shortly.

I was waiting for the foot knights to show up

Very good start so far, looking forward to the results!

[Dalauppror]

Very nice builds !

Good inspiration for me to start to build some of my own.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Michael. I have these half painted, but need to get my BLAM painting done over the next few days before I can turn my attention back to these...

I play a little game with this thread. I stay away from it for a while (resistance is hard), so when I return there's a feast of goodies to admire. A bit like leaving a packet of unopened Jaffa cakes next to your favourite armchair, you resist and resist but when you open them it was worth the wait.

Bravo Richard.

You obviously mean those posh passion fruit and something flavoured ones you get from Marks & Spencer's in this case though.

Argh, do you have to keep showing these fantastic pictures 
I am trying to resist buying more stuff but my resolve is weakening
It doesn't help that WotR is one off my favourite periods and my local games store has some in stock

[Captain Blood]

Finally found some time to paint!

Having overloaded my existing fictional / semi-fictional WOTR households with men-at-arms and billmen already, the new Perry foot knights present a bit of a dilemma.

The only solution seems to be to create a new faction which could legitimately be 'men-at-arms heavy'...

With this in mind, after around 250 of these figures, I have finally succumbed to painting one of the big historical houses. And they don't come any bigger than: York.

So finally, I get to paint the fabled 'murrey-and-blue'... 



















I've also now built the command figures.
I used the command frame components mixed and matched with various bits and pieces from the other frames and sets, to create four more unique figures...

These will be next for painting

Great work richard, but for someone who does not care for historic accuracy, who cares what ratio you have, the main thing is to paint as many knights as you want!
Smooth conversions btw, you have done really well there, most convincing

[rumacara]

 

(singing)... That´s the way, aha, aha, i like it...

Keep the green stuff coming Richard.
Superb painting.

[Jeff965]

You are a painting and modelling machine, and a top notch one at that.
