Progress!

The mounted Hospitallers are done

And I have made a start on the foot knights….command done.

Lovely job!

Cheers!

To finish this force, I have 6 crossbow sergeants on the paint tray now. Plus 9 more foot knights, 6 sergeants with spear, and about a dozen pilgrims. I have NO idea what that means in terms of points and now it looks like I want to buy the second edition, having never played the first!

Eventually I WILL do some sergeants of Ibelin, along with a mounted Balian….plus a few knights of Jerusalem, and a small handful of Templars (just ordered them with my Islamic order).

Nicely done David.
I always fancied doing a few Knights of St Lazarus.
They were knights who had to leave their orders due to contracting leprosy.
Lots of interesting modelling to be had there.

Indeed. Footsore do a couple of them…one with a nicely contorted face.

Cheers all.

In the middle of painting a small batch of sergeants, I got distracted and painted the first of my pilgrims. The guy in foot having picked up a fallen knights shield. I have about 15 or so pilgrims and and I like the look of a few Perry minis too so may expand them…after all, the hospitallers do need someone to protect! I want another wagon or two….and Andy Hobday has suggested in response to my posting, that he may get a few other crew/ guards made up to swap about on the them….that would be cool. At some poin5 I will no doubt pick up a sprue or three of Wargames Atlantic sergeants ( will definitely plump for a box of mounted ones) and could I suppose fashion a guard or two from them.

Anyway, distracted enough, back to painting….

Hell yeah! Hospitallers and pilgrims both look great

Well painted on your latest figures.
Really like your black on your knights.
I find that black for me is hard to get right.

Digits · « **Reply #102 on:** April 19, 2025, 05:12:47 PM »

Me too…but I started to use Corvus black from GW as it’s a very flat black and it’s significantly easier these days. Cheers

If you're having trouble with layering blacks- try the Andrea acrylic Black set- it really is an amazing tool- or at least it was for me.

Thanks for the tip on the black paint.
Went on line a ordered the set from Noble Knight games in the US.
It was $35.00 and $4.95 postage.
I think it is a pretty fair price.
