More Halberdiers¶

The rank and file models of the first unit are done. As their equippment comes from non-industrialized craftsmen, I wanted quite some variety in the unit, which I tried to achieve with a very sophisticated system:

• The models are numbered in the bottom of the base to make sure they align well. I placed them in a random manner without looking at the bottom as shown.
• I painted the quilted armour down the three columns in three different browns.
• I painted the legs of each rown in one colour.
• With the leg colour, I painted three models diagonally starting in the next row.

This way I tried to ensure the most random colour distribution.

For the clothes, I used the information in this post and choose the winter palette.

After adding the static grass, I placed the models in their designated places and enjoyed the random distribution of colours among the unit members :-)

Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

The knights are all prepared for basecoating. I exchanged the shields from the fantasy models for the same as from the historical knights, to have a unifying element.

Most lances were good to work with, slight bends could be eased out. From some of the historical models though, the lances were very bend and quite thin - looking at them askew bend them again. So I decided to replace them with brass rod.

Being still in the flash-removing-mode, I started preparing the next unit(s), which will be Bretonnian Knights. The models are all Black Tree, a mix of their 100 Years War and Fantasy ranges. The bases are again from Product for Wargamers.

Knights of the Hawkbit¶

The unit is done; riders mounted, flags attached and greenery added to the base.

The Oldworlder Ally Contingent allows for 5-10 Templars with a minimum unit size of 5. Here is the finished unit set up as two 5 man units and one 10 man unit. Of course, one unit of between 6 and 9 is also possible.

More Halberdiers¶

I removed the cast on flags from the Mirlition models to replace them with brass rod.

 

When test placing the models, I reckognized that the Mirlition are noticably smaller than the Black Tree ones :-( This won't do.

 

Luckily, my lead pile included some more models from Black Tree's 100 years war range. I used some knights on foot for the unit leader and standard bearer. I had enough Halberdiers to fill out the unit to 16, but only in the later round helmets. As I have one unit in earlier rim helmets, I had to convert two models. First I cut off the helmets.

With Instant Mould and plaster I cast two helmets and glued them on.

 

For the bases I used metal ones from Products for Wargamers. On the underside I numbered them with a Proxxon Precision drill FBS 240/E so that deploying the units will not be a puzzle game each time.

 

The standard bearers got a pole from brass rod and all the models were based. The only thing missing now are two instruments to attach to two models. I am not sure which I will use (horns, drums, ...) and if I will buy some or do them myself.
