Title: First Crusader Base!
Post by: Sascha Herm 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

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?"

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

Post by: Arthur on November 18, 2017, 04:44:17 PM: 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 ?).
