Ogrob's medievals for SAGA. Double update 3D printed 14th century spanish 15/9

[Knight-Captain Tyr]

This is fantastic - I somehow hadn't seen most of these Reconquer sculpts. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

This is fantastic - I somehow hadn't seen most of these Reconquer sculpts. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Most are recent releases, Henry and his banner and the light cav are from his June release. There are some lovely knights from August that I want to pick up too.

[Ogrob]

A small update, mostly for completeness. Studio Historia threw in a number of duplicated of the 14th century sergeants/spearmen. Funnily some scultps were duplicated more often, and others not at all. One of them I received five copies of!

Anyway, I was able to make up an additional 8 man unit without replicating any sculpts more than a second time. I decided to equip these with the variety of swords, maces, falchions and axes I had received.

[Ogrob]

While I did get a lot painted over the summer, it feels like I spent more time planning projects and waiting for orders to arrive. The big one was of course the Studio Historia order that finally showed up last week, but today I received the last two packages I have been waiting for. One from Direforge, ordered early July, and one from Stronghold Terrain, which to be fair I ordered just the other week.

Some more reinforcements for the Muslims:


And then from Direforge, a number of Medbury Miniatures. First, his Geoffrey de Charnoy sculpt. I think I will paint this to use as a Knight mercenary.



A couple more light cavalry. I couldn't resist the two knuckleheads arguing over directions to the next raid:


And finally, two sets of Pavisiers plus some command figures. I had planned to use these to supplement my Reconquer sergeants, but as Studio Historia gave me plenty extras there I have more regular Warriors than I need. Instead I think I will keep the pavises and replace my metal Claymore pavisiers with these. I just really prefer materials that don't chip during handling. To get a full unit of 12, max in most SAGA Chivalry armies, I added three more spare Reconquer sergeants. I also used North Star spears on these over printed spears.

Starting to get some of the 3D prints painted.

These are Reconquer's early 14th century knights, plus two versions of his Roger di Flor and one Baron Ermengol X. Decided to paint these in my mercenary colour scheme, as their appearance makes a nice contrast to the other knigths I have who are more mid/late 14th. Perhaps they are poorer landless knights still wearing old equipment, struggling for money or travelling to Spain as a form of crusade.


And then Almughavars. They will make excellent Bidets, terrain expert skirmishers:


Miniaturas Ezipion's King Pedro the Cruel plus the foot version of his Castillian Knight sculpt. A nice option for a warlord when I don't want a diorama base. He is on a 50mm sabot for flexibility.


What do you think?

[Little Odo]

Looking good so far. I like the way that the colour scheme allows both the units and the leaders to be readily identified but not appear to be too uniform between the actual units.

[Ogrob]

And we are back! I got paint on figures over the weekend:

8 Jinetes by Reconquer designs


Two Medbury sets; sergeants arguing over directions and a mounted command group:


They join my peviously painted Medbury Hobelars and two of Reconquer's gambesson-wearing knights to form my current contingent of light cavalry (warriors with mounts in SAGA terms):


What do you think?

[Ogrob]

I did in fact finish a few more figures over the weekend. Turns out painting light cavalry is a fairly long and tedious task with all their layers of cloth and armour. In between I put some paint on a couple of hero figures as well.

This is Medbury's Geoffroi de Charny. As I already have a ton of warlord-esque figures I painted him in my mercenary scheme, and he will do nicely as a Knight mercenary. One downside of 3D prints is I already managed to snap the lance on the mounted version and when I tried to drill the hand out to insert a new one it shattered. I should be able to replace it nicely with a bit from Perry's agincourt set so not to big an issue.


And speaking of Warlords, Reconquer's version of Bertrand de Guesclin with squire. A very nice figure in my opinion. I even painted eyes for the first time in a long time.


What do you think?
