Thanks chaps

The bronze looks better in person though

Last update for a few weeks and I've got a fair number done now

Firstly, three bods for Sir John of Guildford, horn blower and two bill although like most of the bill they can be used for other factions/settings etc.

Bit blurry but I am getting slowly better a taking and editing photos

Now we have the whole of Sir John's retinue so far minus the swappable bill

And now we have a Karstark banner man with the Sunburst in all it's glory. I'm quite pleased with the turn out of the banner but not so much with the black armour, a little more practise at that one I think...

And then the Karstark hordes...

And finally all the figures so far

I'm actually really enjoying painting these and will certainly carry on with aplomb when I get back from galavanting across foreign climes

cheers

Ooooh!
Very nice, mate.

A veritable little army is slowly but surely creeping up on the Captain and Invader.

That banner is very good. I myself would be more than happy if any black armour I painted looked that good, but for a perfectionist a sharper delineation of the black armour and gilding would be a consideration.

I think the bronze and the black armours look very good. You have created a question in my mind.

I am working on the Swiss Burgundy War of 1476.

I have seen a few manuscript pictures (Schiling) with golden armour but I do not know if this is artistic license or historically justified.

Is there any historical evidence for bronze or black or golden armour in this period?

Coming along nicely. The different armour colours really works.

@Mark-in-Switzerland:
I know black armour did exist, even if it was just painted black against rust.

Dear Max,

I have seen black armour and gilded armour in museums (e.g. Royal Armories in Leeds and the Alte Zeughaus in Solithurn).

However, as I recall, this was all from the Henry the 8th and Renaissance periods (i.e. from about 1535 onwards).

I am interested to find out if the experts here know about earlier examples.

Totes amaze balls

Thanks for comments chaps

Regarding the bronze and black armour, it's made up I'm afraid and there has been no research behind it. I can get away with the black as its for 'fantasy' and I presumed that the bronze might of happened with some sort of glaze or laquer over the top of the real thing.

cheers

I like the black armour! You should do an entire group like that.

Or maybe as a tribute to a classic movie, six mounted knights in black armour and call them the Black Six.
