The last of the Wars of the Roses project have ridden forth from the muster, a second unit of knights and one of light horse. This gets the project to a whopping 300 figures(!) over the course of three and half months. Most of the credit to the speed-painting goes to Games Workshop contrast paints. Part of this project was an experiment to see how much I could use the contrast paints and I estimate that around 80% of the painting was done this way. I call that a successful experiment!
Generic light horse with pointy sticks.
What these Front Rank figures lack in variety of poses is made up surely by the beauty and precision of the sculpts that take contrast painting beautifully.
A second unit of knights, again from Front Rank.
I've added a a more lightly-armoured standard bearer for some variety. These Front Rank horsemen are substantial chunks of metal and are thus quite hefty (in many senses).
I had to put all three mounted units together for a photo. These will look suitably impressive rumbling across the table!
And one last addition to the collection, three Gripping Beast monks to tend to the spiritual needs of my armies.
Beautifully done.
