This is the second unit of slingers in the army, with them the light troops are done.
I still have another two of these guys, but I can't find them in the stuff I shipped from Canada, they'll bulk up this unit when they reappear.
Next will be some cavalry and mounted characters, but I have to get back to Italy first.
Hi all, last week, instead of posting on the blog, I was travelling to Canada to come visit my fiancée.
I will be in Canada until the end of February and I won't be doing any painting here, but I have enough material for 3 posts before I go back.
Today we have some Byzantine heavy mounted archers, old Citadel miniatures, like most of the army. They will form the rear rank of the cataphract unit.
They are a little basic sculpts, but I like their simplicity and ease of painting.
Next will be some more slingers, heavy cavalry and characters, but I still have to unpack some boxes and find more models.
I finally managed to complete the unit I've been working on (with a lot of distractions) recently.
As seen in the previous posts, it is a unit of "Noblesse d'epée", nobility of the sword, one of the more basic types of knights in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition Armies book.
They are a mix of Ral Partha models with a couple of historical crusaders from an unknown manufacturer that I added to bulk up the unit.
The unit is slowly coming along, I hope to finish it this week, for now this is one more knight I completed, with the remaining three well on their way to be done.
There is also a partial unit picture.
This week I only have a single knight for the unit I posted last week.
There are another 4 on the go, one being painted by my fiancée, the other three I just started, but I was then distracted by other stuff and some real life events.
This one is the standard bearer, same model as one of the previous post, but with an added flag to lead the unit into charges.
This week we have a small and late post, I'm working on a new unit, a small cavalry unit made up of old Ral Partha knights with the addition of a couple of extra pieces that I got in a trade, they are crusader like knights of some unknown manufacturers, but they fit with the Ral Partha ones.
The unit will be used in my Warhammer Bretonnian army 3rd edition "Noblesse d'epèe", basic human knights. There are a total of eight models in the unit, but I might be able to add a couple of older Grenadier models that should fit in as well.
These are the first three I completed so far, they are surprisingly long to finish, so I'm taking my time.
