The Perry heads fit well with the bodies

They do Jim, with a lot of GS slapped around the join!

Its going to be interesting to see how they defend/seige the castle from those horses

Very much looking forward to seeing what livery these guys end up with.

They wont be in Livery they will be in Pork Choppery (I demand it is called this from now on based upon equality Act and Butchers Regulations 1973)

Great work as always Cap`n

I think I might do them based on the Timpo medieval knight colour schemes of my distant childhood

Although I do have a historic livery for the Lamberts from a plaque in a local chapel...

Decisions, decisions

Neat builds. I always use Perry horse heads on my fireforge horses, i like the fireforge bodies but the heads look a bit odd to me.

Oooh, I still have some of those (have you seen the prices they fetch on the collectors' market??

).

Great thread, lots of good inspiration for colours/techniques... I really have to adapt a 'bolder' style when painting Shades/highlights.

And feudal knights/foot soldiers might be just my thing outside Pulp, Zombies, and Vikings

Bishop lord's excellent figures have spurred me to reopen the box and make a couple more...

Thank you good sir

But excuses like ..."he made me do it".. just wont do.

Ceaseless pestering from Snr. Malamute led me into succumbing to a box of Fireforge Templar infantry on special offer price at the SELWG show last Sunday.
So I have now made up dismounted versions of my company of knights...
(Happy now, Nick?!

)

(Not that I'm planning on any of them falling off their horses - but just in case... )

Anyway, the helmets and shields in the Templar Infantry box are NOT the same as in the Templar cavalry box.
Plus, since I had begged, stolen and borrowed a few of the heads I used for my mounted knights, I didn't have duplicates of all of them
(I should have had duplicates, but inexplicably I seem to have mislaid a couple somewhere - much to my annoyance

)
So, a bit of jiggery pokery with heads and greenstuff was required. Meaning a couple of my knights have lost their great helms...
One or two of the shields also needed carving to get the shapes to match the mounted versions...
All in all - a bit of a fag... But I think they've turned out quite well.

I have to say the Fireforge infantry, whilst still a wee bit GW-stylee for my tastes, are a LOT better than the Fireforge mounted knights.
For one thing, having separate scabbarded swords is a much better way of doing things than the hideous moulded-on versions.
Also, having a few more components to play with from two boxes, lets you get a little bit more creative with the poses...

These chaps now join the paint queue...
