The Once and Future King—Foundry Arthurian Cavalry

I needed a dragon standard but I only had the standards that come with eh Warlord plastic roman infantry.  So I decided to sculpt my own.  It took me many years to learnt hat you can’t jsut sculpt a finished piece with milliput.  Instead it is a multi day thing where I built up an interior structure and then add the details in a final layer.  The only tool I use is a straight pin, both eh tip and the back head work well for various jobs.  finally I add the “wings” and it is done.  It is not hard to do and I recommend giving it a try.

A friend picked up this wonderful resin church from 1st Corp at a Salute way back when it first came out.  It is so good to see it on the table after many years.  I love how this piece of terrain can be reconfigured in many ways.

This is my second unit fully finished.  This project had been a lot of fun and it is a great feeling of accomplishment to get this done after having them sit in a box for years.   Now to get them on the table top!

I had fun painting this shield.

This guy was mostly red when I got him but I think he was begging for some colorful stripes!

For most of the shields in this project I used plastics from Warlord Games.  They are nice and big and give plenty of room to emblazon.

I am psyched to have been chose for the Golden Button last weekend!  It was really helpful to hear the comments and suggestions from everyone hosting this week.  It is very encouraging to get some recognition for this wrk and has spurred me on to do some more.

And I agree, I need more stripes on the lances!  Wait until you see the battle banner, there will be plenty of stripes!

Thanks!
