I got hold of two boxes of crusader knights from Fireforge and wanted to initially some Game of Thrones stuff. But then I though: why not doing crusades stuff anyway...:D
Again small bands for use with "Song of Blades...".
I wanted to do a retinue of a poor knight with some fellow pilgrims. And I wanted the feeling of a journey, so 3 man have rucksacks and stuff modelled on their back.....

The retinue is a wild mix of perry, gripping beast, warlord and fireforge models.

Great work and an interesting project DV
-
Brilliant! :-* Great concept, excellent painting and a believable, evocative mix of minis. Just looking at them you start wondering about the stories each of them could tell around the campfire...
I'm looking forward to seeing how this project develops. :)
-
Excellent painting over a wide range of figures. Look forward to seeing more.
-
Those Fireforge conversions are very good - you a master with the greenstuff :-*

Keep it coming... :-* :-*

That is a great mix and match of different product lines.
-
Excellent painting (especially that chap on the left with the au naturel shield :o ). Your green-stuffing is fantastic and really adds to the flavour of the minis. Looking forward to the Muslims now.
-
Have you got a pic of the packs and bedrolls painted?
-
Thanx for your encouriging comments... :)
I needed a while to think off what to do for the muslims side. Until I came across the story of the Old Man from the Mountain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_ad-Din_Sinan
I found a great figure on donkey in the perry crusaders range and just snipped of the cross... :o
So the retinue consists of a dubius old man, 2 assassins, a noble muslim and his fellow warriors, somehow devotetd to the cause of the old man... ;)

The Gripping Beast plastic models are a bit too big for the perrys, but I think on the table it wont a big deal.
Cheers,
Don

Stunning work all around!
Keep it up!

Wonderful stuff! :-*

Okay, I shoukld have stayed in the desert, but I am a butterfly type of painter...:)
So I get some teutonic knights ready. Again for "Song of..."

There is very expensive snow on the bases, wich you cant see... :D
Costed me a little more then kokain at battlefield berlin.
Cheers,

But it saves you from random passersby snorting your bases while gaming, I hope? :P
Again, excellent, atmospheric painting on these Teutons. I love seeing your warbands. :-*
-
I love the paint jobs!
I wish I could paint as well as you!
-
Great models and paint jobs.thanks for sharing. I rocognise most of the teutonics as fireforge plastics but what model is the hooded figure?
Thanks
Tom
-
Brrr. Looks chilly :)
Great work as usual.
-
Very good concept and nice painting
May be inspiring enough for me to dust off my fireforge figures and do something with them.
-
Nice couple of warbands
-
Brilliant work, loads of flavour!
-
Great work !
like your conversion and painting style...
excellent o_o

Very evocative painting. Love those shields too.
-
Thanx for the very nice feedback...;)
...hooded figure?
I can't recall really. I think it is from "Hobby Production" or so, a german manufakturer. I bought it in the early 90s for RPG...:)
Today I have just a few WIPs for my pagans...
Lots of greenstuff and some glue.

The leader of the band is still missing, because he is in the acid bath to strip the paint of...:)
Cheers,
Don
-
Another warband coming along nicely well done. Great inspiration
-
very mutch like all those conversions, once the leader is out of his bath i hope to see them painted

Me too !
You only have one guy with ski ?
-
What a great project! :-*
-
very nice indeed keep them coming
-
Can't wait to see the finished pagans! I love the look of them! So grim and realistic!
-
Storming stuff! Has got me reaching for the greenstuff.
-
Okay, a busy week, but I managed to paint up the pagans.
I added a vodka drinking warrior and tried to iprove the basing (not quite finished). One or two figures need a little bit more highlighting, but you get the direction...;)

Hi Don,
this time on this platform:
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING with the minis. They are perfect with their subdued colors.
Cheers
