As I posted last time, I moved from red and white to blue and yellow. I have tried to pick a couple of knights each time with the same colours for their heraldry to try and speed things up a little. Being a bit anal, however, I only want knights correct for the bit I am doing, which makes choice rather more difficult. I could do bits from different retinues, but then would not get any single retinue done quickly.
Oh, problems, problems....

Sir William Pennington - Or, five lozenges in fess azure. |
Sir Thomas de Mounteny - Azure, a bend between six martlets or. A mrtlet is a small bird for those unaware. I found these very difficult to paint, despite their size!!! |
I am not happy with the possible lack of strength in the plastic lances supplied in the box, so used an old Vendel pike for this one. |
Nice painting, I like how you've shaded the yellow.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures, the Mounteny figure turned out very nice.
