Here we go!

I've got a commission going, full of knights and nothing else. Thought it be easier and more fun if I post the progress of the project and might have some feedback, rather than have them all put to completion for my eyes only.
This is what I'm working on when not Eldar for the moment.

The whole package!
14 of the Realm
5 Questing
8 Grail
6 Pegasus
1 Lord (The Green Knight)

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_5Qknightf...webp

These were the first to be finished, five Questing Knights to which there will be added the other five mentioned above. They're already delivered along with a Damsel.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_lord1.webp

The lord so far, and my first ever finecast figure painted. A few things still waiting to be adressed, like the pikes on his back and white/red colouring.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realms1.webp

The Realm knights so far. Not looking like much, but they'll turn out well soon enough.

Oh, and lucky me, I tipped over the Badab Black pot!
ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasf8cfce49743633c6deb5ea0de3ac5a5a.webp

Had lots of stuff left over to wash though, so I was lucky and not at the same time :thumbsdown::thumbsup:

Have a nice day now!
 
Really great work on those knights, especially The Green Knight. Who would have thought he'd look so good in white/red? xD

Also, I think this thread belongs in the "Faces of Our Next Meal" section because it's a PLog for an army other than VC's. I'd move it myself, but I think I'll defer to the P&M Mods for now.
 
Thanks a lot!

I did feel there was something funky about posting live models in the area where corpses are walking. Will look into it straight away after posting this!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realms2.webp


Knights of the Realm are coming along ever so slowly. Their heraldry will consist of colours in various patterns more often then not over a white background. Also, I agree on the standard bearer heraldry. Looks really bad xD

What does the rule of tincture mean, u_m? Or if anyone else has the answer to my mystery. Something about metal and stain?

Will work on some more of them tomorrow, maybe a new pic up after that!
 
Oh, I hate when I tip over the Badab Black! Has happened two or three times. I always end up trying to get it back in. . . so frustrating :zombie:

As for the brets, they look great. Base them up and it will be a stunning army.
 
It's 5 in the morning and I feel it's time to update.

A bit different approach to do the clothing, it's different but I really like it! Easy highlighting.

Late? Yes it is.. YOnce you find something funny on YT, there are sure to be more one click away. This be one of the countless vids I've seen tonight:

Post in The Lol Thread

I wish you a good laugh :happy:
 
Hey,

Sorry for the delay in replying. The rule of tincture is all about heraldic design. Essentially it states that you cannot use colours on colours e.g. Red on Blue, but instead use them on Gold and Silver (Yellow/White).

This explains it far better than I!

The Rule of Tincture

Cheers,

u_m
 
That stuff was great, really! Thank you. Every time I paint heraldry it will come to me as a reminder. Come to think of it, the black riders heraldry ain't following the rule of tincture! Will be corrected!

About the bases. My 'taskmaster' only ordered the paint. I will be sure to tell him to send me pic of the army complete, with bases done!

Seven Knights of the Realm!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realmsfin1.webp


ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realmsfin2.webp

The two unfinished heraldries will be completed along with the last seven knights of the same kind.

I have to admit, Bretonnian armies do look really good with all the colours.
The commissioning man says "looks good", but I know he really enjoys the paint job so far :cool:

Hope you too like it!
 
Ahoy!

Update of knights, lots of them. It is so much fun taking these pics and showing them off.

14 Knights of the Realm in one unit is fantastic!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realmsfin3.webp


ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realmsfin4.webp

Favourites: unit champion (actually being ice blue coloured on right side) and then the banner itself.
Also thanks to u_m for poiting out the rule of tincture. Took inspiration from it. Helped out alot giving the banner the heraldry it needed!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_realmsfin5.webp


I would personally enjoy seeing this unit on a gaming board as part of a force opposing my army. As a unit I think the warriors complement each other well in way of colours. None too bold and striking, nor too dark (the lighting during photo might go against that statement). The banner is also well visible.


Five Grail Knights are coming up next!
 
Up they go. WIP pictures of the Grail Knights.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_Grails1.webp

Not the best looking at the moment but I believe it'll be a unit of white knights stealing the attention of the eyes pretty easily.

Bringing the last three Grail Knights up to speed with the first five so the unit will finish as a whole. Update will follow shortly :cool:
 
Grail Knights, whoo! Pretty fun to paint.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_Grails2.webp


ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_grails3.webp

Missing paint are a few heraldries and studs on the horsies.

What's next? I dunno, flying horses I think, six of those. Four of the five remaining Questing Knights are ready to be primed, the fifth has no lower body, so I need to get my hands on any sort of Empire or Bretonnia "riding legs".

Actually, I might have a go at at bit of Eldar in between these and the next unit, like base paint my Wraithlord or assemble the next three! Well, this was it for now.

Time to sleep! :ghost:
 
It's all coming along well and turning out to be a nice army to rest my eyes upon. Would just love seeing them on a battlefield right now.

Onto the update!

A unit of Pegasus Knights.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_pegasifin2.webp

The Gallant leading them into glorious battle. Got him some extra coloured bands and stuff to make him stand out a bit from the rest.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_pegasifin3.webp

Behold shields! The Realm dudes are still to recieve theirs, but it'll come!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_pegasifin4.webp

What's wrong in this picture? Find the error and be the lucky* winner of 10 zombies!:clown:

*The winner will be randomly chosen by dice rolling IRL made by the author of the thread. Also supply the right answer.


I found out the only difference between these and Knights of the Realm are the horsies, and that flying ones are quite ferocius on two attacks at S4. I did not know that!
Anyways, after the news it was clear that they should have the same type of looks.

I have to say having wings is so cool..! :O How are they looking?
 
You put the shields onto the wrong knights; they should be reversed (going by the garb & flank shields of the pegasi anyways)

Now gimme my undead! :vampire3: :tongue:

Brahm,
happily collecting zombies since 2007:zombie:

Great looking work, btw!
 
Variation is a good thing in life. I like having it around in the armies I paint too.

As for the 'Fin the error' competition we have a winner! Being the only one to submit the correct answer, or any at all, my zombie collecting friend, Brahm Tazoul is our WINNEEER! :thumbsup::clown:xD

Congratulations! 10 zombies, enjoy!

Thanks guys for your words.
 
Makes me happy you like it.

Five Questing Knights and a Battle Standard is what's left. Picking up the BSB tomorrow.

The five knights:

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_52Qknight1.webp

My favourite in the army will probably be the custom made you see here. Like a boss!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_52Qknight2.webp

Two home made backpacks, differing quite a lot from the originals, but looks to be in union I think. Switch the metal ones around so that there aren't any identical Questing Knights.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_52Qknight3.webp

I think having stuff like this really made a model so much better looking and extra cool!

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantasy_BRW_2011_12_24_20RG_52Qknight4.webp

Sure, the metal Questing Knights are really, really cool and individual. Now having another two unique ones is just gonna add to the awesomeness. Heck, this one could easily do as a Gallant for a Realm unit.
I can't wait to getting him painted!

Great models really, but those backpacks aren't merciful to paint. There is always something that you miss. Like one of those bands or a scroll. That's why I love these home made ones, and that they're cool. They will make up for everything :tongue:

While waiting for the BSB I will be finishing a necromancer!
 
Yeah.. Regular updates I do love. As long as it's someone elses thread :tongue:

I recall I 'some' time back that I were gonna finish the pegasus banner, and I did just now.

ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantas11b9bf9c66493d8d7986d3d20d0f6580.webp


ai1207.photobucket.com_albums_bb465_Strossa_Warhammer_20Fantas6649d3c1f958228401e739d4793ecd57.webp


Well, there's that...

Oh! Of course, I did break the banner pole. Luckily, the model is now easier for transport and customer can decide for himself to glue it on or not. It sits astonishingly well with the pinning alone.
I was amazed how good it works. It'll definately be something I'll consider for my own banners and tall stuff!
