The recruitment for the Kingdom of Jerusalem continues a pace with a new unit, this time it's Mounted Sergeants.
12 x 28mm figures from Fireforge Games, I've decided to arm these with hand weapons rather than lance which means there are less flags than normal. The large pennant had been painted using a decal from the Battle Flag Decal set as the base.
I do like the sense of motion you can get with these Fireforge figures, the plastic kits allows you to make subtle variations in the figures, the horse poses give the impression of motion and the deeper bases I like to use allow a staggering of the figures again giving that feeling of movement.
Looking at the Quarantine Challenge points total it's another 121 points taking me to 1308.
I have a unit of mounted Knights left to do before the force is finished but for the moment I am concentrating on finishing off my 7tv Baddies.
I’m loving these Ken, the blue and white livery is excellent as are the weathered shields. Lots of great movement as you say.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Peter, looking forward to getting the last unit done, the Mounted Knights, but with their Carparisons it may take some time 🤔
DeleteVery dashing, with their blue flying robes. The pennant is great!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks 👍
DeleteGreat looking mounted sergeants! Lovely looking lively bunch!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain 👍
DeleteThose are lovely
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Adam 👍
DeleteAbsolutely stunning Ken! I love the battered and weathered shields. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Curt, it's nice to be nearing the end of this mini project 👍
DeleteSuperb mounted sergeants and good to see none lance armed Crusader cavalry.
ReplyDeleteThe colour scheme works really well against the basing colour; they compliment each other well without clashing. What size of bases do you use?
Looking forward to seeing the last unit if time allows.
Cheers, Ross
Many thanks Ross, I use 60 x 50 for virtually everything these days, Cavalry are on the 50mm frontage, I find 40mm too narrow for many modern 28mm figures. The extra depth of 60mm gives more freedom to stagger the horses to give the sense of motion I was talking about. Hope to have the Knights done in a couple of weeks 👍
DeleteOh My, these are so good!
ReplyDeleteVery kind, thank you 👍
DeleteLovely models, the staggered bases are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteCheers Stuart, definitely adds to the character 👍
DeleteGreat figures and painting again in this series post - Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez, one more to go 😁
DeleteKen these are really great figures! Once the last unit is finished it would be nice to put up a group photo. I’m sure it will make for an impressive army!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mike, I definitely will be doing a Troops on Parade Crusades Feature when the KoJ Knights are done.
DeleteFantastic work Ken.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Greg👍
DeleteThat's a truly wonderful bvand of knights, the shields really pop and the weathering/ bloodering is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSmashing stuff, Ken.
