Just in case you're interested, I painted Edward I mounted, on foot, and landing on the ground after coming off his horse earlier in the week and wrote the painting guide up on the Sally 4th hobby pages. http://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/epages/950003459.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950003459/Categories/Hobby_Pages/Crossed_Lances_Medieval_Jousting_Hobby_Page

Check out claymore castings also. They are making some pretty decent figures for this era.

Agreed, some of the foot-types will work, but the plate armour is about a century out.

I'm afraid Janner is correct about the plate armour.

I'm going to be using this figure below from Trent Miniatures to represent Llywelyn the Last (Llywelyn ap Gruffydd to his mates).

There is a alternative bareheaded version.

He'll be battling my Edward I figure (a Curteys Miniatures model) in skirmishes using the upcoming Lion Rampant rules.

Man, if I had a pound for every time I've painted one or both of those miniatures for a client!! 

Great mini's though.... they must be!

I really hope that is a £1 extra Darrell for your sake mate....imagine there will be a massive rush of orders if thats all you charge for a 28mm mounted Medieval but no doubt there would be some total 'chancers' who would try to take you up on it if they could .

I knew of some painters who charged £25 and over per painted 28mm mounted knight in the late 90's but with the amount of work that goes into it the collectors were still getting a bargin and considering a collectors standard miniature paint job can take a whole day to paint even then that price seemed far too low.

Certainly over £1!!!  always charge extra for heraldry on the mini, banners and standards etc

Yeah, I think that many folks just don't appreciate how much work goes into a decently painted miniature at times.

It can be a thankless job... I'm giving it up after I've caught up with all my orders. (I'm behind due to serious illness sadly, though I am more or less OK now- my enthusiasm for the hobby has returned  )
