Title: Led astray by Lion Rampant...Teutonic Order Retinue Finished 20th FEB 2015
Post by: Pappa Midnight on October 26, 2014, 05:23:42 PM: I bought some Teutonic Knights and the Deus Vult rule set and whilst waiting for them to arrive I came across Lion Rampant. Pretty weird really as the boxes I ordered had enough minis to make up a Teutonic Knight retinue......

Any how I've built and under-coated the 12 mounted knights, 6 mounted sergeants, 12 foot sergeants and 12 crossbowmen. I'm saving the the other 6 mounted sergeants to make some mounted sergeants at arms with crossbows ( just need to source some) as an alternative to the regular mounted sergeants.

Here they are so far:

(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/UnpaintedTeutons3_zps498d9e01.jpg)

All of the bases have 0.4mm thick magnetic sheet attached and I have some resin movement trays with rubber "metal" sheet stuck to them. Not overly strong magnetic hold but enough for plastic minis:

I also knocked up a quick roster sheet:
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/MyLionRampant_Teutonics_a_zps0aedccd6.jpg)

Once these are finished I will probably go for some Mongols, although I am very tempted to do some fantasy stuff.......

I've a lot on at the moment so progress may be a little slow.

Will follow this projekt with interest.

But skip on that fantasy thingy, there are absolutly to few Mongol projects here. :D
Besides, you will need a oposing army for these.

Post by: carlos13th on October 26, 2014, 10:48:46 PM: I cant wait to see these painted up.

Would love to see some Mongol stuff too.

You can always add small fantasy elements to an otherwise historical army. I am doing that with my Samurai so the can serve double duty as both a historical and fantasy army. All I need to do is remove the models or Units that contain stuff like Oni and they become a mostly Historical force.

For example a few mythological creatures that suit the tone of the army in question like for example some Angels to go with your Teutonic knights.

Post by: Pappa Midnight on November 11, 2014, 07:55:59 PM: A quick update of my progress so far. Pretty much completed the first six knights. They need weathering ( far too white!!!) and the bases need to be completed.
The shields and crosses are home-made transfers.

I use laserjet decal paper from:
http://creativepaperco.com/laser-printer-paper

I really love this stuff. It doesn't need spraying with varnish to "fix" it prior to dipping in water. It comes in clear ( which I used on these) and white. Really nice product and a decent price.

Post by: commissarmoody on November 12, 2014, 07:03:19 PM: I guess the next question is how do you get the images onto the sheets. Do you send the image in and they put it on for you?

I guess the next question is how do you get the images onto the sheets. Do you send the image in and they put it on for you?

The sheets are blank and you print them yourself using a laser printer ( the sheets look like glossy photo paper). If you haven't got a laser printer ( I've got a cheap Dell one) you can get decal paper for inkjet printers although they need more prep as you need to "fix" them with varnish before soaking in water.

Thought I'd take a few pics using a black background to make them stand out a little more:

What is your snow recipe?

I used "deluxe" scenic snow set from Antenocitis Workshop. I love this stuff as it actually looks like snow rather than just white flock. The "Icy Sparkles" are awesome for a really nice twinkle effect. The whole set is a little expensive but it goes a long way. The "scatter grip" glue you get with it is brilliant. It's like watered down PVA but always stays a little flexible. I've got minis I did years ago and they don't yellow with age.

Antenocitis don't have any in stock at the moment but here is the manufacturer's site:

I thought I'd have at least one bare-headed knight, so I used an old GW Mordheim head which fitted perfectly.

Hopefully I will complete the Sergeants within the next week or so.

Any thoughts or planning for those Mongols yet ? :D

Pretty much decided I will be getting some but I really want some Heavy Mongol Cavalry which will "fit" with the Fireforge ones. Fireforge a supposed to be releasing some but they have been saying that for ages.
Alternatively I really like the idea of building a Medieval Russian retinue using Gripping beast minis. If I do that I will get some Mongols anyway to use as horse archers.
Decisions....decisions.....

The weathering really brings them to life and enhances the black and white subject matter.

What are you using for the Russians?

I've bought some Gripping Beast medieval Russians for the Mounted Druzhina ( 12 total) and some city militia (12) and some bowmen (12) from their Rus; Pagans to Princes range. I finished off with some Fireforge mounted Mongols to use as mounted yeoman.
I should be starting these shortly.

I really enjoyed doing these ( although I could do without painting white for a while!!!!)

Post by: Father Primus on February 21, 2015, 08:37:51 PM: Astonishing work! They look battered, menacing and realistic!

Though, I have an advice: repaint the movement trays in darker grey. It will look much better altogether!

Thank you, I'm glad you like my work. All of the shield transfers were done by me and printed using clear transfer paper ( my wife has a laser printer for her business).
