I've decided that I'll be constructing and painting a Free Company army for Impetus. Even though ancients and medievals aren't generally posted around here I thought you guys might enjoy seeing them. The Corvus Belli models are exquisite to paint.

I like medievals. You can be very colorful with some of the shield designs and such. And these look great painted up.
Thanks for sharing!

We band of brothers can stand anything, even the reality of historical stuff. ;)
Honestly, I appreciate such entries as they show the variety of interests and excellence on this great forum. Your minis are very neat, especially at this scale. As much as I love what people do with 15mm I can't cope with anything smaller than 25mm. Maybe one day... ::)
PS: Allowed myself to add your site to the linklist of my own blog. Amazing stuff there. :-*

I love seeing masterfully painted ancients and medieval armies on LAF--your figures look exceptionally awesome!
I particularly like your subdued metallics. Would you mind sharing your technique?

I also like how the metals look. Please show us more!
-
Truthfully, I hadn't even twigged these were 15mm. I thought they were 28s.
I'd like to revise my opinion up from lovely work to superb work, given the small scale.
Bravo! :)
-
Nice job!
Your style is very clean!
-
WOW!! Had me fooled too. I thought they were 28mm. Since they are 15mm with that type of detail....very well done sir, very well done indeed!! :o
-
Sorry guys. I should have been more specific. These are indeed 15mm models by Corvus Belli. If you have never seen their range, you're really missing out: http://www.corvusbelli.com/en/02_tiendacorvus.asp
I'm rather floored by the compliments, especially considering some of the very skilled painters they are coming from. Thanks very much. I am quickly finishing off a 10mm Carthaginian army for Impetus, but I'll be back at these guys in very short order and will continue to post updates as I progress.

Oh wow - they're brilliant! Keep them coming please.
Love the other models on your site too - especially the Carthaginians. 8) 8)

The Bretons are actually Welsh Spearmen models from Feudal Castings. In the interest of cutting down on spending I butchered them and turned them into javelinmen rather than buying new models.

A really nice and colorful unit 8)

.... [speechless]
I very much hope for Your eyes the heraldry are not freehands...
in any case, thrilling paintjob (I remeber almost getting blind when I painted 20 mm decades ago)
-
Excellent Jet. :)
Once again, for 15mm, beautiful work on the heraldry.
-
To be absolutely clear (and honest ::) ), the fleur de lys on the red shield and the lion motif on the banner are transfers. More specifically, the fleur de lys is from a Sisters of Battle transfer sheet and the lion is from a long-discontinued Bretonnian transfer sheet.
Thanks again for the kind comments,

Breton Javelinmen

I had originally decided to base my skirmishing units on 8x3 cm bases. However, I've realized that 2cm depth is optimal at this scale. In short, a skirmishing unit based three centimetres deep cannot interpenetrate a cavalry unit in one move. Considering that the javelinmen will spend most of their time supporting my knights, I figured it was better to change the basing before I got too far into the project.
The entire project so far: http://geektactica.blogspot.com/search/label/Hundred%20Years%20War%20Gallery%20%28Impetus%29

I'm pushing to get this project finished. I'm working on finishing a unit of heavy foot right now, and then it's just one base of cavalry and two bases of skirmishers to the finish line.
The arrows are just straight pins cut to length with the fletches made from thin cardboard.
