Otterburn Era Scots; Another Ubiquitous Lion Rampant Force... UPDATED 7/09/21

[Atheling]

Superb Iain  

Excellent work on the heraldry and a really great touch to have the different colour 'straps' on the harness- consider the idea stolen   It's brushwork like this that get's me all excited

Cheers doods! Now back at work, so progress will be slower, unfortunately...

Nearly finished the current two knights, just leaving me three to do to complete the unit (and the force, if I want to go down the route of a very small and melee orientated one, with some mismatching figures...)




...and have some peasants. I've got that many of the inglorious sods to work through that I did consider giving them their own thread; but I might as well just lump them together in here with the harbingers of their inevitable doom...







These figures are the classic Foundry ones, which ooze character. I picked them up at Albanach last year, since they seemed the closest match to Claymore in terms of scale and sculpting style. they will inhabit a village (curretly under construction), which, with apologies to Captain Blood, will consist mainly of pre-cut MDF buildings...

Absolutely gorgeous paint jobs!
Very well done.

[Atheling]

Love the classic Foundry mini's.... you've done an excellent job (again) 

I've actually used a couple in my Verneuil army and they seem to fit seamlessly in when all painted up and based.

Darrell.

[Andym]

I love the fact you've gone to the length of doing the heraldry underneath the knights belts and buckles!

[Iain R]

Thanks gents! The heraldry is a bit of a masochistic task, but I do enjoy the finished spectacle...

Sir George the Younger;







Progress has slowed somewhat, as I've come over all Peninsular of late for some reason...

[Jeff965]

Fantastic stuff, very inspirational 

[Ray Earle]

Excellent paintwork Iain. 

The heraldry on the jupon is fantastic.

[Michi]

That younger noble is excellently painted, great heraldry, bright colours, class metal and all! Top job!

[mellis1644]

Really impressive work. They look very impressive, I wish I could paint as well.

[danmer]

Superb stuff!

I love the banner - as a special rule, every time that particular banner survives a game, you will gain an extra 1pt of Glory. That's official 

(And every time it doesn't survive… boo hiss -1 Glory)

Dan

[Arundel]

The new additions look every bit as wonderful as your earlier efforts. Very well done!

[Atheling]

Iain,

This project certainly has my attention and I'm extremely impressed by your tight crisp (and beautiful) painting style- keep 'em coming as they say!

 

Darrell.

[Iain R]

Thank 'ee, chaps, you're too kind!

Sir William Dalziel of Lanarkshire, finally finished. I must admit, my fears that I was being a bit over-ambitious in opting to do him given his heraldry have been realised. Back to monotone heraldry methinks, enough of this "proper" colourisation nonsense!

[Steve F]

The shield looks great, and is nicely offset by the very dark armour.
