Still coming to terms with the emptiness created by Jack's loss and trying to stay busy as much as possible in an effort to keep the sadness at a distance. These Templar sergeants were finished last week but I am only posting them now as I could not find the drive these past few days. As a six figure unit they can be used for Lion Rampant but also for any other ruleset such as Impetvs. Or they will stay put in my display cabinet which is where my 28mm minis usually end up !
The figures themselves are the usual finely detailed multipose plastics from Fireforge. My only criticism would be that the lances seem to be a bit too long and the arms grip them from a seemingly impossible low position but this detail gets lost in the big picture. I have attempted to create the arid terrain typical of Mediterranean /
Middle Eastern desert for these figures and I am happy with how the
bases turned out. All Templar crosses and shield designs are hand painted.
Excellent work, Mike! A buddy of mine painted these same mounted figures several years ago and they look great on the table. They really exude motion.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Jonathan. Yes, Fireforge certainly know how to animate their figures!
DeleteGorgeous sergents, most beautiful shields!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Phil. As you can imagine, the shields are what I like to do most.
DeleteMike, great job and the basing looks exactly right.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm! Glad you like the basing because it was a bit of an experimental process. Luckily it turned out fine.
DeletePainting is a good use of your time as any while feeling down with grief.
ReplyDeleteThese came out looking awesome! A bunch of ferocious looking men. 😀
Painting figures is certainly therapeutic even though at times it is hard to concentrate. Thank you vey much for your kind words Stew.
DeleteSorry for the late post, Mike, but these are beautiful. Also, sorry for the loss of your dear 4-legged friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words Dean. Losing Jack was a hard blow to us all but we’re getting slowly around it now.
