This chap has been sitting on my desk since God knows when, which is a real shame as he is my favourite medieval figure of all time.
Not sure who he will be representing yet.

2 down....

Great work on the black and gilded armour - sets off nicely with the grey mount.

The head on that top fellow is great.  I wish I had a selection of bare heads to choose from for making some Perry figs.  I have a plan for bashing up a Warwick that I need a bare head for.

Before I zeroed in on the bare head on that figure, I should have congratulated you on the build.  That build is great, and the painting on both the figures you have pictured is awesome!.

The second one is fantastic too!

I agree it's an awesome model, I'm looking forward to painting my own version someday soon.

I really like the Perry metals. They get a lot of criticism due to their casting quality, and it's true they definitely aren't the best side-by-side with their wonderful plastics... But I think once painted up they are just fine. They all have such good poses, full of character. I wish they'd make some more metals for their WOTR range.

First unit completed of knights and men at arms from Swabia. I've tried to show some different qualities and colours in the armour.
When i have more time I will finish writing a more detailed account of the personalities shown and add it to my blog, but for now back to work!

Cheers

Ah this is some great stuff. really love it. I saw some of these on your blog already and you inspired me to do a german force too (probably not as acurate as yours  because I wouldnt know where to start) I'll be following this closely!

Oh now those are lovely.  :-*

I second the comments about the bare head on the first figure, and your painting is absolutely gorgeous - so cleanly done and characterful.
A very jealous Bob today.
