Author Topic: Led astray by Lion Rampant...Teutonic Order Retinue Finished 20th FEB 2015 (Read 34752 times)

I bought some Teutonic Knights and the Deus Vult rule set and whilst waiting for them to arrive I came across Lion Rampant. Pretty weird really as the boxes I ordered had enough minis to make up a Teutonic Knight retinue......

Any how I've built and under-coated the 12 mounted knights, 6 mounted sergeants, 12 foot sergeants and 12 crossbowmen. I'm saving the the other 6 mounted sergeants to make some mounted sergeants at arms with crossbows ( just need to source some) as an alternative to the regular mounted sergeants.

Here they are so far:

All of the bases have 0.4mm thick magnetic sheet attached and I have some resin movement trays with rubber "metal" sheet stuck to them. Not overly strong magnetic hold but enough for plastic minis:

I also knocked up a quick roster sheet:

Once these are finished I will probably go for some Mongols, although I am very tempted to do some fantasy stuff.......

I've a lot on at the moment so progress may be a little slow.

Awesome. Those charging mounted knights look positively Eisenstein-ish.

Ohh, great start.
Will follow this projekt with interest.

But skip on that fantasy thingy, there are absolutly to few Mongol projects here.

Besides, you will need a oposing army for these.

I cant wait to see these painted up.

Would love to see some Mongol stuff too.

You can always add small fantasy elements to an otherwise historical army. I am doing that with my Samurai so the can serve double duty as both a historical and fantasy army. All I need to do is remove the models or Units that contain stuff like Oni and they become a mostly Historical force.

For example a few mythological creatures that suit the tone of the army in question like for example some Angels to go with your Teutonic knights.

Interesting start, looking forward to your painting progress ... I wish I could handle such large units projects as easily as you and others do. Deep respect!

A quick update of my progress so far. Pretty much completed the first six knights. They need weathering ( far too white!!!) and the bases need to be completed.
The shields and crosses are home-made transfers.
