Yes, if you can use photoshop, which I can't. You can really enhance the picture. Here is my last try with my Saxons. It really looks way over the top, but atleast the flag looks like it is when I hold the mini in my hand. ;-)



Well try to make sure you have a good light source when you take your pictures. It doesnt have to be perfect but try using the light from outside. Set up your backdrop across from a big window and make sure you arent in front of it when you take the picture. That should help a lot. It's not easy to create information in photoshop that isnt originally in the picture. 

Very nice miniatures though! Keep up the good work!

Update:

My previous group of 3 under the command Alberik de Blauwe gains the company of Gerard de Rode accompanied by a pavasier and crossbowmen.


I have also "semi" finished a couple of crusaders. The banner carried by the templar knight still needs to be done. The group of crusaders has currently 3 templar knights, 2 templar sergeants, 1 teutonic knight and two non order cruaders knights. I took the pîctures with my phone, some mini's are bit out of focus.

Hello,
The last couple of weeks I painted the following from left to right:



2x Late Saxon huscarls (Footsore)
A Norman knight (Footsore)
A late HYW French crossbowmen (Perry)
6x Vikings (Victrix)
2x Late Saxon fyrd (Victrix)
An mounted household knight from Count Frederik III von Vianden. (Footsore)
3x Sergeants (1 Templar and 1 Teutonic sergeant. The Teutonic sergeant has the T-cross on his tunic. (V&V miniatures)

They all will be part of warbands I am working on for Lion Rampant and the upcoming Baron's war ruleset.
