Title: Agincourt and Lion Rampant
Post by: Wiegraf on June 28, 2019, 06:36:19 AM: Hello all. Just wanted to share my first unit of Agincourt / late hundred years war sergeants with you all.

(https://scontent.fyyc2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/65277432_10158985193829466_2791905334275342336_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_eui2=AeHoGn-rdMhJducFGpXkKrP-bljOeUbmwpur5d06fqcS3FRzqu-hP0mi1XT7-UlhD1M2Mwv9SGGe1BckDyp8DoA_hDHqTsYoJ6U28AX20krwPA&_nc_oc=AQkI7T8Lpg0Do9cMCMn4zXyw9EWYKn04grfIO2dIkmgOdZOHmnL2f3oPcm0-gFLA7-o&_nc_ht=scontent.fyyc2-1.fna&oh=f1bec6cad65e3ad03e742a77c324d3c8&oe=5D7EA68A)

Perry Minis. Didn't add any shields because I personally don't really like the look of the passives. Call me strange, but maybe I'll put them on crossbowmen only, no infantry.

Also its the first time putting on a paper flag on any miniatures.. think it turned out okay!

So these lads are your basic sergeants but I am wondering for Lion Rampant what I should work on next. i am not building a great force, nor have access or plan to build any extra models outside the French Infantry box set. I have a force of unpainted metal mounted sergeants that I will use.. so I guess I am making a predominate infantry force.

What should I make the rest of? Experts? Crossbowmen? more spears? Or should I just go buy a box of knights at some point? :P

Cheers

Very nice colours. What colours and techniques did you use for the guy in the padded jack / gambeson at the front left?

My technique is the basic Citadel one (Prime it, base color, wash, layer, then edge highlight).

I use all citadel paints, save the primer - my primer is always black no matter what I paint - I use a car automobile one in this case since Citadel's primer has always caused problems for me.

I base Zandri Dust , then wash with Seraphim Sepia, then Layer Ushabti Bone, and finally highlight with screaming skull. It's a fairly straight forward recipe that gives a bleached / off-white look. I think in old citadel paint schemes it was the standard paint job for warhammer fantasy Tomb Kings.
I just thought it looked good as a gambeson color. :)

Cheers!

I would suggest going for foot knights and crossbowmen next, for a typical French 1410's warband :)
