More posh blokes

More Fireforge Games bits went to make more for Lord Clifford to throw vainly at the odd schiltron or two.

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.

When I put this figure together, I had in mind a little vignette of him avoiding the close contact of perhaps a lone Scots spearman or something. I foresee perhaps a spear striking under his shield or across his body as he charges in. Hmm, we will see.

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.

  2. Great looking figures, the Mounteny figure turned out very nice.
