The banner looks great dude, as does the black armour!

Lovely figures and especially the banners. Could the figure in black be Darth Bibbly?

Not unless Darth Bibbly has lost weight

Great work though James

I like the black armour

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.

Mick

Not sure from when it is but;

Thanks Paul - That is quite impressive

Based on the sword and helmet, I would guess it is about 1550-1600.

Quick search on Myarmoury and i found this/

Talks about bronzing armour, might be useful.

Interesting little read

Would normal laquer suffice? I'm pretty sure some armour was painted so maybe this is an option. As to the durability, who can say

Well, as its gone down so well I might try a few glazes of different hues to see what people think (when I get back from galavanting though

).

cheers

Inspired by the good Captains thread I made a few more figures today

They are household troops for the Karstarks. I'll be doing some normal WotR figures soon as I bought the merc box at the weekend

Mainly using the parts from the standard bow and bill and mounted men at arms boxes with a couple of Gripping beast plastic Viking arms, some random shields and a GW cloak.

I need to put some green stuff fur around some of the figures necks etc. The cloak had to be carved out a bit at the back to allow it fit more snugly and it seems to fit rather well.

I quite like the random shield designs as it helps to break up the monotony.

Hopefully get them primed before the weekend but after that, who knows...

cheers

James
