I think even in comparison with your work on your other thread Captain that Sir Bouchant is possibly your best yet. Like the mud effect too.

IIRC, later. 1230's or thereafter.

Yes, that's my view too. No full helms before 1190s at the very earliest, and then only possibly the odd magnate. First evidence I can think of offhand is the one shown on Richard the Lionhearts Great Seal of 1198. I would tend to agree that it had disappeared from the battlefield by 1400, but variants remained for the joust.

Lovely conversions Richard

Sir Robert Montfichet is finished

And Sir Renaud de Brassey

With Sir Bouchant de Moule en melee...

Three more on the painting table... Then I'll be ready to ride down some riff-raff

Wonderfully bright colours and inspired conversions.

Excellent work, really vibrant colour. Renaud is my favourite.

Great work. I guess that sooner or later I just have to go medieaval when I see miniatures like this.

Wow, not looked here for a while, these are beautiful, stunning painting.

Terrific brushwork Richard. There certainly is some character and charm in these miniatures.

Cheers,

Helen

Oh loving the last one but I have to admit that Sir Robert Montfichet looks a tad gimpy.

Yep, Sir James de Bibbly's retinue certainly have the air of riff raff about them

Excellent stuff, will look forward to seeing them thunder across the table

Thanks all.
James - your riff-raff are doomed

It's the new GW 'Ushabti Bone' with various amounts of white added for the highlights. It's basically bleached bone, but a whisker deeper toned.

Henceforth, he shall be known as Sir Robert the Gimpy

Doing my best here with the raw material...

Potentially, the GW head doesn't help, although I must say I quite like it. Several of the right arms in the box are just weirdly posed and don't look quite natural, whichever way you attach them. As mentioned above, Perrys these ain't. But I do agree with Helen, they do have a certain charm, and are certainly no worse than a lot of metal medievals out there.

More to follow soon. I need to do at least half a dozen of these before I can get back to the main job in hand - more Wars of The Roses!
