Title: Mounted Crusader Warlord! Outremer: Faith and Blood
Post by: Legiocustodes on 11 July 2017, 10:19:57 PM

Well I've been working on some more models for my new rule set Outremer: Faith and Blood this week.

As it is a skirmish-level campaign game it makes sense to have different versions of each character in order to represent different weapon load-outs!

So I've been working on a mounted variant of one of my Warlords... horses are potent tools in the game so it makes sense to give them to your most powerful fighters where they can act as real force multipliers!

The models are both from the Conquest Norman Range of boxsets which are very versatile and cross-compatible!

Overall I'm really pleased with this model, there are more photos and a bit more information on my blog:

They look really good, the shields particularly!

I like the ribbing effect (for want of a better word) on the helmet, it reminds me of what you see in old manuscripts sometimes - is that moulded on or have you painted it for that look?

It's moulded; I think it is designed to give the impression of Siculo-Normans.

Cheers guys! I really like these conquest models, the plastic gives a nice smooth base to work from!
