Renaissance Reinforcements (6): Germanic Men-At-Arms ready for battle

After a few shades of brown on the base, a dry-brush highlight in white, followed by a good flocking. I proudly present my "large" unit of Germanic Men-At-Arms Knights (I need not beg, steal or borrow ambiguous "cavalry" types to bulk out my Renaissance Impetus army now) :



Coming soon to an Impetus tabletop near Hartlepool and perhaps even SmoggyCon 2012, though a daunting step into the competition arena must at least mean should read the rules cover-to-cover (once):


Here they are caught in natural light on the windowsill and charging home with reckless abandon:


You just know you are going to throw a "one" when you need a "six":


One last job is to paint something Renaissance on that 'red' banner:


Then a coat of matt varnish for "protection" purposes :)

    Paul,

    20mm Renaissance plastic,they are coming out but the 25/28mm "hard" plastic will give them a run for their money and can fit in with the existing expensive metals ranges

    Cheers Rodger, it's a technique I have picked up from others, from Games Workshop to my fellow Hartlepool and Redcar friend. Keep it simple and effective :)
