Good evening gentlemen thankyou for the kind words and interest in my project as per previous post After seeing the works and being a follower of chaps like Mr Hindley, Painterman, and Captain Blood, to name just a few, Im just glad they they past the early stages

 

Your technique is quite impressionistic - but very effective and bold at a distance. Personally, I like them a lot. Great colour choices too.

Mr Captain Blood, thanks, I must admit others have said they look impressionistic I think its the watery effect of the paint and with no clear outlines, yep they look good at a distance  and also if you squint when looking at them too

is that the Earl of Buchan lurking amongst your knights, menacing people with an axe..?

Mr Iain(Fellow early-heraldry-painting slave...) Im afraid not good sir, its Ranulf de Blundeville, Earl of Chester

Is the main man William Marshal? The green/yellow with lion rampant was his symbol, and he was present for many decades on the battle field, so I am assuming it is meant to be him?

Mr Little Odo It is indeed.

The full list of knights in the unit is:-

William Marshall and standard bearer

Aymeric de Sancto Mauro

Ranulf de Blundeville

William, Earl of Ferrers and Derby

James de Guallo

Robert Fitzwalter

William de Huntingfield,

William de Lanvallei

Roger de Montbegon and standard bearer

Robert de Vere

The sources Im using for the heraldry are the witnesses to King Johns will and the Barons who oversaw Magna Carta heres the links:-

Ah yes, some lovely colour combos there. Maroon and white stripes is one of my personal faves. I have quite a few figures from all sorts of periods in that particular rig 

(People who find it difficult coming up with colour combos that work for miniatures painting, could do a lot worse than look at soccer and rugby strips from clubs across the world - there's no shortage of striking and well-worked livery colours to be had there... )

Simply delightful painting Jason!

 

Fantastic Heraldry- done very boldly and with a very steady hand

What the others have said. Lovely stuff

[Ray Earle]

Nicely done.

These really are quite superb. Very lovely work. If I was open to the high Middle Ages, I would be very inspired to try to emulate you (probably very badly!).
