The shield designs are transfers, the Hospitaller's tabard cross is freehand.

Lots more to come. I am really enjoying painting these :)

Looking forward to a shot of everything... ;-)

I wondered who would pick up on the names ;) The Sir Ronald figure is short so aptly named ;) lol
 I couldn't find a shield with a teddy bear on it for Sir Roger lol

I painted the shields separately and added them last otherwise I would not have been able to paint the wood effect on.

Are these knights going to inhabit a town called St. Anthony by any chance? (Perhaps mainly composed of large adobe buildings with hastily added thatched roofs?  ;))

Man, those foot knights are some killer figures!  :-*

I remember seeing some Foundry foot knights back in 2004 or so and I've been wanting some ever since.

But it'd all wind up somewhere over in Arthur land with a trojan rabbit if I ever went down this lane. No matter how good my
initial intentions were or how serious my beginnings would be.  lol
