Lion Rampant Retinue (finished retinue 17/01)
« on: January 05, 2015, 05:23:35 PM »
Like many others I've been bitten by the Lion Rampant bug.
I've just painted some of the lovely Claymore Castings billmen to use as sergeants in my force.



Basing is waiting for the full force to be finished, so I can aim for something consistent.

Fantastic!  Stop distracting me from painting something else. >:(  Those Claymore castings are lead temptation incarnate.

Nice progress. Someone mentioned Claymore Castings to me recently - looks like I'll have to get some.

Looking really good! What will the eventual force look like, unit wise?

Thanks all.
They are lovely models and paint up very nicely.

The finished force will be a late English one, two units of elite archers, one of sergeants and some foot men at arms.
I've finished the 24 archers, using the old Perry plastic Bretonians from Warhammer 6th edition (apart from the kettle helms they make ideal late English archers - and I can overlook the helmets).



The MAA will be Claymore Castings models.

The bases are currently unfinished as I was planning on doing the whole force at the same time.
But now you've mentioned snow...

I absolutely adore your painting style, man, very John Blanche. I'm excited to she what you do with the lovely Claymore sculpts for the MAA.
