The War of the Usurper - A Wargame of Ice and Fire

[Finarfin]

Thanks guys!

I have an update for you: Ser Vardis Egen and the Household Guard of the Eyrie.
All models are old Bretonnian Men at Arms.





For more description, check the Blog!

More eye candy! Love them. I'm working on some of the same figures at the moment too. Lovely minis very well painted!

[Simlasa]

I'm really liking the painting on these figures... something for me to aspire to.

[Mason]

Some lovely looking figures there!

Love your colour choices, very realistic.
Nice basing too.
Your choice of figures is excellent. I do love those old Brettonians, have some myself in a near-finished state and now, seeing your superb work, you make me want to finish them.

Will be watching this develop with interest.

[Finarfin]

Thanks all! 

@Mason: The Bretonnian Men at Arms belong to my all-time-favourite miniatures. Always envied those people who had some units of them, when I started playing Warhammer...

I have some more pictures about my basing method. As I originally play skirmish systems, I was not used to the large Impetus bases and had my concerns about transporting these. All my rubber foam cases were not large enough.
Instead I'll carry them in some metal boxes. Therefore I added some magnets to the base. Works pretty well...

Its also worth checking out the Black Tree not Bretonnians they have a simialr style I have a good few mixed in with my HYW army

[Engel]

This I like.

The buildings are especially nice. You really captured the old paper terrain.

Wow! Didn't know these! These are some great looking figures!
I just made a big purchase at the Perry's, but as soon as I have painted these, there will have to follow some BTD men at arms...
Do you have some size comparison of the Black Tree figures and other companies?

[Mason]

Just realised that I didnt comment on the shields.

Great job on them too!

Lovely work on lovely figures. The 5th edition Bretonnians were perfect. With a few exceptions (I do love the new questing knights), updating the range was a serious mistake.

The Front Rank 100 years war figures should also work well.

[Golgotha]

Especially like the roadside shrine, but the magick trick at the end takes the cake.

[Mr.J]

I'll try and snap a BTD/GW later this evening for you. I'll see if I have a Perry kicking about too but not sure.

[Mr.J]

Left = BTD Right = Bretonnian

I think that they are a spot on match, both in style and scale. I'm ashamed to say the only Perry figs I could find were unassembled plastics...

I would be interested in seeing a comparison with the Front Rank medievals, Perry, or Kingmaker minis if anyone has any to hand as I'm planning a purchase in the near future.

Hope that helps anyway.

@Golgotha:

@Mr.J: Wow, perfect match, indeed! Many thanks, this helped a lot!!!

I took a comparison shot of a Bretonnian, a Perry and a Foundry man at arms:
