Hey there,

I have recently started to try and pull my project a bit more together and I'm starting to ad some new things so eventually I can just pick which miniatures I like to have in my force for that particular battle. This planning forward struck me with some creativity and I cut up a few horses to make this new one. The rest of him is a kitbash of all kinds of medieval kits. He will get some friends in the near future. I hope you like him!







Me and a friend also discussed half barding and if it was a thing at all. I'm sure this must have excisted in some form or another (I mainly made this because I like the look of things and the diversity in my units) But I couldnt tell him exactly what the function of it was. Maybe someone can shed some light on it for me.

The horses look to be caparisoned and not barded.

A caparison was a means to display a knights heraldic arms and though it probably did offer very limited protection to the horse (mostly against spent missiles) this was not the primary function.

A lot of Late Medieval wargames rules give a bonus for cloth barding which is very misleading.

The knight looks great!

@Atheling, That was informative!

Nice work on the conversion! Good sharp colours also

lovely paint-job.

you control lighting and depth-of-field in your en masse pics so well...

thank you everyone for the kind words. I'm working on some more knights but also saw that V&V just released some awesome new knights. Might have to get me some of those for the future.
