Barons War

Back with another unit… this time knights with 2 handed weapons!

First 500 points of Baron’s War done using all Footsore Miniatures so far…

John de Dyve, John FitzRandolph, Saer de Harcourt and John de Bohun…

First four Foot Knights for the army!

Well not quite Blackadder, but filling out the command group ‘Priest’ option is Walter von Geroldseck, Bishop of Strasbourg…

Along with him is William Lorraine, who will be the first member of the unit of Foot Knights which will be the next unit to do…

One option for the command groups in Baron’s War along with the bannerman is a Priest.

Just the excuse I needed to buy and paint the armoured Bishop model that Footsore do, and its one of my favourites.

I’m using the Bishop of Strasbourg as an example for painting…

Next unit finished, a nice little unit of 5 bowmen to act as a filler. The ‘outlaw’ models are brilliant and I must grab the other packs too.

The Turcopole guide will also be used in my Crusade forces so a handy model, and one of my favourites in the range.

When the Lord returned from the Crusade he brought with him a Turcopole, who now leads a small band of ruffians… mainly as I love the figure that Paul Hicks sculpted as a Turcopole guide!

Base colours applied, and then hit with some washes…

The Earl of Essex is ready to lead forth his retinue, though his bannerman is still waiting on the flag to arrive!

They are joined by one of the Military Order Knights on foot, masquerading as a brutal looking Veteran Sargeant as option for the unit…
