Ogrob's medievals for SAGA. Starting on a victrix saxon project 26/4

[Ogrob]

What manufacturer are the painted knights in the middle? They look great! And I’m looking forward to seeing the whole lot completed

Thank you. They are Claymore Castings french knights, except second from the right who is a 3d print, Portugese Knight by Reconquer Designs.

Thanks so much!

Took a moment this morning to build a few more pavisiers, as my Claymore figures wouldn't exactly make a full point for SAGA. Somehow I got my units mixed up an made four when I needed two, so after lunch I came back and built yet another two, to get me to 20 pavisier warriors, or 2.5 pts in SAGA terms.



Initial four with the Claymore figures. As you can see they match quite well in size and style, and even though Claymore is meant to be Crecy and Perry Agincourt, they blend well enough.

And got the first unit painted. I had several knights already in progress from an old partially abandoned project, four partially and one fully painted Claymore french knights, plus a started John the Blind figure (with the generic helmet to make my own noble rather than John himself). I added their Count Alencon and a 3D printed Portugese Knight by Reconquer Designs that I had assembled but not started. These took me a little while as I am not the biggest fan of painting such bright colours.

The idea is that they are generic enough to serve as a number of factins, such as Gascones in english service, French, Navarrese or castillian on either side.



I will probably go back and add some dirt to the barding, and lavender tufts on the bases.

What do you think?

They look great mate- I don't know whether to mention this or not but in Heraldry you cannot pout a "colour" on a "colour", nor a "metal" on a "metal". One can put a "metal" on a "colour" and vice versa .

Colours:
Red = Gules.
Blue = Azure.
Green = Vert.
Black = Sable.
Purple = Purpure.

Metals:
Argent (silver, white)
Or (gold, yellow)

It get's a lot more complicated than that!

Hope that helps?

Cheers! I did know that somewhere in the back of my head, but oh well.

Final thing to complete the basing scheme, some lavender flowers. Wanted to evoke southern France.

[Dean]

Very nice!

[Basementboy]

It looks gorgeous!

[Ogrob]

It's taken a while, but I managed to finish two points of warriors. Mostly Claymore Castings, a couple of V&V to round out the numbers.

[Koyote]

VERY nice.

[LouieN]

lovely figures

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work mate! 👍

[Bloggard]

wonderful painting.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

If anyone followed my Game of Thrones project, I had a period where I got really into civilian figures for the setting. Most of the Claymore figures going into this project have been taken from that old project, but I also happened upon some 1st Corps Camp Follower figures and bits that had been sat unpainted since doing the original lot of civilians. I based them up on 40mm rounds with the idea of using them as objectives for SAGA.

Here's how they've turned out:
