	Archers Assemble Here's the new batch of archers.
	Archers Assemble These are actually from a Warhammer Fantasy starter set from way back.
	Archers Assemble There's only two poses.
	Archers Assemble Note to self: Hot glue the base magnets before painting the figure.
	Archers Assemble The obligatory overhead view.
	Archers Assemble These are a pretty simple dip job for the most part.
	Archers Assemble I probably should try another batch of these with more colorful livery.
	Archers Get Reinforcements More archers to the fray!
	Archers Get Reinforcements Again, these are old GW figures from a Warhammer starter box.
	Archers Get Reinforcements I think they're actually pretty ok figures.
	Archers Get Reinforcements I could have brightened the colors a bit, bit I guess this is more realistic.
	Archers Get Reinforcements The obligatory overhead view.
	Archers Get Reinforcements Acrhers from the back. The figures have very few detail bits, which speeds up painting quite a bit.
	Archers Get Reinforcements There's only these two types. I personally like the brimmed helmets better.
	Battering Ram This is a Grendel 28mm resin kit. It was pretty easy to build. The design isn't quite historical, but it's usable.
	Battering Ram The fist is pretty imposing.
	Battering Ram The obligatory overhead view.
	Foot soldiers Here are the brave foot soldiers. The shield is totally made up.
	Foot soldiers The obligatory overhead view.
	Foot soldiers I just stuck the maltese cross there.
	Foot soldiers These are all from Black Tree's Hundred Years War range. They're pretty nice figures, I wonder why I didn't paint them up before this...
	Foot soldiers I think these all came from a mixed infantry set. There's a variety of helmet styles and weapons.
	Foot soldiers I like the quilted jackets and they're very easy to do.
	Foot soldiers The shield is probably positioned wrong...
	Foot soldiers These guys are at least using their shields. The rest of the spearmen are just carrying them to protect their butts.
	Foot soldiers Halberds, bills and voulges all mixed up.
	Foot soldiers These should go together well with my multitude of archers.
	Foot soldiers I really should get more of these, they are so nice. But first I will paint the crossbowmen.
	Crossbowmen Here are some crossbowmen from BLack Tree's HYW range.
	Crossbowmen These came as a mixed bag.
	Crossbowmen The obligatory overhead view.
	Crossbowmen I quite like these figures and they are pretty fast to paint.
	Crossbowmen Personally, I prefer the rimmed helmet.
	Crossbowmen I think these were the last Black Tree HYW figures I had. But there's still plenty of other stuff in the medieval box...
	Crossbowmen They're very basic fellows without unnecessary doodads.
	Crossbowmen The crossbows are separate, but went in pretty nicely with superglue.
	Crossbowmen I may order more of these.
	Crossbowmen The red and yellow scheme is a bit muted.
	Crossbowmen These guys got olive green undergarments.
	Crossbowmen The faces and hands were done in 3-color.
	Crossbowmen I'm pretty happy with these. Now I'll just have to find a use for them.
	Men-At-Arms The first batch of men-at-arms is ready.
	Men-At-Arms The obligatory overhead view.
	Men-At-Arms There's four Carylls heroes for the pikes and a hodge podge of others.
	Men-At-Arms The two guys on left are an old Grenadier set.
	Men-At-Arms Go, Heroes, Go!
	Men-At-Arms The mounted guy.
	Men-At-Arms Ready to swing that big sword.
	Men-At-Arms Some town guardsment also hitched along.
	Men-At-Arms Singles. I think one was RAFM, maybe one Grenadier and don't recall the third one.
	Men-At-Arms The town watch is vigilant.
	Men-At-Arms Test tube pikemen. I painted these first to get a feel for the color scheme.
	Men-At-Arms Ok, now I just have to copy this on the remaining 23 guys...
	Pikemen Vaguely medieval pikemen, these are actually official Fantasy Warlord figures from wayyyy back.
	Pikemen The obligatory overhead view.
	Pikemen They're a bit difficult to rank up.
	Pikemen Usually I don't like to do pikes, but their pose didn't really leave a whole lot of options.
	Pikemen They look like business.
	Pikemen There's five different sculpts, but they're basically all head swaps.
	Pikemen In addition to figuring out a use for them, I need to figure out how to store them.
	Pikemen Here's the full set with the doppelsoldners and the two pikemen painted previously.
	Pikemen Not quite sure if the flanking position is really correct.
	Pikemen The obligatory overhead view. This time for the full regiment.
	Archers Here's the next batch of archers. I still have about 100 of these to paint.
	Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Archers I picked the same color scheme I used for the pikemen in an effort to get somewhat coordinated troops on the table.
	Archers These are all pretty old school, only the skin is two-tone.
	Archers They do sort of grow on you.
	Archers So, is the next batch going to be blue or green?
	Men-at-arms The first part of the muster is complete!
	Men-at-arms The obligatory overhead view.
	Men-at-arms The red flag looks a bit bland... maybe it could use a farming tool or something?
	Men-at-arms These are mostly old Grenadier figures sculpted by Mark Copplestone.
	Men-at-arms A pair of of armored war dogs from I believe Ral Partha. Their handler is in the second batch.
	Men-at-arms A quiet moment before battle.
	Men-at-arms I couldn't be bothered with looking up real heraldy so I just used this red band design on most of them.
	Men-at-arms The plumes are actually a bit fragile, which is irritating.
	Men-at-arms Hmmm... maybe the white shirts are a bit bland?
	Men-at-arms The guy on the right is straight out of a Gary Chalk painting... but ofcourse I couldn't be bothered to actually look it up to replicate the colors.
	Men-at-arms Goldilocks and Monsieur Chateau Bleu.
	Men-at-arms Here's the shield detail for Goldilocks. I made my daughter paint it.
	Men-at-arms Here's the remaining infantry from my medievals box.
	Men-at-arms The obligatory overhead view.
	Men-at-arms Note to self: When batch painting, DO NOT include a couple of totally different figures.
	Men-at-arms Giant handguns.
	Men-at-arms These are mostly old Grenadier models.
	Men-at-arms The dude with the bow is a Prince August LotR figure. The other guy is the doggies' handler.
	Men-at-arms Even a couple of archers were included.
	Men-at-arms To save time, I gave them all the same color scheme.
	Men-at-arms I multibased the guns, even though I usually don't do that.
	Men-at-arms I'm going to put all the 500 figures in a new box like this -- at least for the being -- so they'll be easily available for a photoshoot when all is said and done.
	Archers Another batch of archers done.
	Archers Facing a wall of arrows.
	Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Archers Ready, aim, draw, loose!
	Archers I think I still have about a hundred of these to paint.
	Archers The hood thingies add a little bit of color.
	Archers These are done in hybrid style, mostly dipping but with flesh and some details in 3-color.
	Archers I do kinda wish there were just a little more poses...
	Archers This time I went with offwhite pants to make them a little less brown blobs.
	Archers All lined up.
	Billmen Hundred Years' War billmen from Black Tree. I really like their HYW range, especially the men-at-arms.
	Billmen The obligatory overhead view.
	Billmen Ready to slice and dice.
	Billmen I went with a very basic color scheme for these. The white tunic and hood lighten them up a little bit.
	Billmen Maybe I should get more of these. They look a bit lonely like this.
	Billmen As usual, there are really four different poses.
	Billmen I actually like the halberdiers better, but I got these for a little variety.
	Billmen I can see these guys in Boletaria, or any number of places.
	Billmen I did these in a hybrid dip/3-color. I feel doing 3-color on the skin improved them substantially.
	Billmen Maybe I'll do the next batch in full 3-color just to see how it goes.
	Archers Another batch of archers done.
	Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Archers I did these in two nights.
	Archers Lining up nicely.
	Archers The red is a bit dark because my other red had dried up. Thanks GW!
	Archers I think it was actually slightly faster to paint them because they're all the same pose.
	Archers I still have about 50 of these left to paint.
	Archers Personally, I prefer the ones with the kettle helm.
	Archers Blacken the sky...
	Archers Shooting off.
	Royal Archers The bluebells are here.
	Royal Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Royal Archers I went with something a little different this time around.
	Royal Archers The white trim breaks up the overall blueness.
	Royal Archers Maybe I should do another set in reverse colors?
	Royal Archers Lining up to shoot.
	Royal Archers Another view of the line.
	Royal Archers I still have two more sets of these to paint.
	Royal Archers And still no coherent plan for these...
	Royal Archers Closeup showing some details. These are really pretty simple figures, which I think is ideal for bulk troops.
	Royal Archers Hmmm... another closeup.
	Quartered Archers Latest batch of archers.
	Quartered Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Quartered Archers I went for this split color scheme just to try it out.
	Quartered Archers It was actually pretty easy to do, though I cheated a bit. In real life the front and back pieces should be different color.
	Quartered Archers I think it's actually substantially faster to paint just a single pose.
	Quartered Archers The downside of cheating is that the multicolor is not clearly visible from the front.
	Quartered Archers Hmm... looks pretty identical to the previous shot.
	Quartered Archers Displaying the color scheme.
	Quartered Archers Closeup of the ranks.
	Quartered Archers Getting ready to loose.
	Queen's Archers l'Garde d'Chat Bonjour assemble!
	Queen's Archers The obligatory overhead view.
	Queen's Archers Actually, they turned out pretty nice.
	Queen's Archers These are the last archers I had.
	Queen's Archers The pink is actually a rather challenging color to paint. It really would need a white undercoat.
	Queen's Archers I did this final batch in full 3-color.
	Queen's Archers There is a flower patch on every base, ofcourse.
	Queen's Archers Experts in massed archery can shoot in four ranks.
	Queen's Archers I'm still thinking whether white pants would have fit better.
	Queen's Archers Closeup showing details.
	Queen's Archers That's a pair right there.
	Queen's Archers Loosing a volley.
	Feudal Spearmen Arrayed in defense.
	Feudal Spearmen Still ready to stick it.
	Feudal Spearmen The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Spearmen These are from Black Tree again.
	Feudal Spearmen Maybe I should have gone for more colorful tunics...
	Feudal Spearmen I think I lost one shield, had to dig into the bits box for that one.
	Feudal Spearmen A hedge of spearpoints.
	Feudal Spearmen There's only four poses, but the unit looks pretty ok. Spearmen always work in uniform poses.
	Feudal Spearmen I still have plenty more to paint.
	Feudal Spearmen I probably should think of another shield design.
	Feudal Farmers Slightly peeved peasants marching off.
	Feudal Farmers The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Farmers They're a nice bunch, despite only having four distinct poses again. I really regret selling off my Foundry peasants.
	Feudal Farmers These are actually done in a new hybrid style, slightly more complex than pure dip-plus-details.
	Feudal Farmers Maybe I should have added more color. There's actually both brown and green tunics, but the colors are so earthy they look pretty much the same.
	Feudal Farmers At least the hoods have a little bit of color.
	Feudal Farmers The white padded caps look a bit like diapers though...
	Feudal Farmers I really should get another bunch of these, though. No one can take this bunch seriously on a battlefield.
	Feudal Farmers I wonder if I should get more pose variety from another manufacturer though...
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Swordsmen to the fore! I made them more colorful, could be lifeguard or something.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I tried a different shield design this time.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms For some strange reason I only bought twelve of these. Go figure...
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I kinda like them, though.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms As usual, there are four poses.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I was a little hesitant about using the same colors in the shield, but I think it's okay.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Painting actual heraldry would have been too time consuming, and I didn't have suitable decals ready.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Looks a bit crowded.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I would have liked to see more variety, but they're ok.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I thought about adding some gold... but these are just rank and file after all.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Lunge!
	Feudal Halberdiers Halberdiers to the line!
	Feudal Halberdiers The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Halberdiers These are very nice Black Tree miniatures from their Hundred Years War line.
	Feudal Halberdiers Halberds and voulges mixed together.
	Feudal Halberdiers I really like this brimmed helmet style.
	Feudal Halberdiers And there's gotta be one in every company...
	Feudal Halberdiers It's a gaggle of blades and spikes.
	Feudal Halberdiers To infinity and beyond! Ok, a little ways to go but a good start.
	Feudal Halberdiers Maybe I'll do the next batch with slightly different colors to add variety.
	Feudal Halberdiers These were pretty simple to paint.
	Feudal Halberdiers There's actually eight varieties. Even though the poses are very similar, they are not just weapon swaps.
	Feudal Halberdiers Hook 'em with the halberds, violate with the voulges.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms More boys in purple.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I decided to continue the purple scheme.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms These padded jackets are really easy to do in brown but I wanted to see how they'd look in color. They are, after all, cloth and cloth can be dyed.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Same basic deal with four distinct poses again.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms The shield design is reasonably easy to paint.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I thought about adding striped to the jackets but then I forgot all about it...
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I actually didn't do the eyes at all on these. They're so under the helmet brim it's all in shadow anyway.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms For some reason I really like this kettle helm style.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms The swords are a wee bit on the flimsy side, but then again you could also call them realistic.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms Maybe I should think about balancing my color schemes? I have no idea many many troops I have.
	Feudal Men-At-Arms I'm also running out of shrubbery. Gotta order some more.
	Feudal Spearmen All ranked up!
	Feudal Spearmen The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Spearmen More splendid Black Tree miniatures.
	Feudal Spearmen I put a little bit more effort into the padded jackets, but it's really hard to tell.
	Feudal Spearmen Reinforcements for Count von Diagonal.
	Feudal Spearmen I'm not entirely sure how accurate the shield hanging on back poses actually are. Seems to me if you bothered to bring it with you, you'd like to keep it between you and the enemy.
	Feudal Spearmen Pretty good view of the shields.
	Feudal Spearmen More shields.
	Feudal Spearmen Dynamic forward movement.
	Feudal Spearmen Here we stand!
	Feudal Foot Knights The Royal Guards assembles.
	Feudal Foot Knights The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Foot Knights Ready to stiffen the line.
	Feudal Foot Knights I probably should get a few more command packs.
	Feudal Foot Knights No, I didn't paint the logo on the shields.
	Feudal Foot Knights In the end these were pretty simple to paint.
	Feudal Foot Knights I tried to make their armor more bright silver.
	Feudal Foot Knights They're spoiling for a fight.
	Feudal Foot Knights Even though it's a little slower to paint, I find that the overcoats make these more interesting figures than just pure tin cans.
	Feudal Foot Knights Closeup of the battle line.
	Feudal Foot Knights Forward with the flags.
	Feudal Foot Knights Maybe I should have photoshopped the logo, the purple is a little too dark.
	Feudal Foot Knights Closeup.
	Feudal Foot Knights Some heavy weaponry also included.
	Feudal Foot Knights Swords and axes and maces... I gave the maces wooden hafts to break up the monotony a bit.
	Feudal Foot Knights Fairly organized.
	Feudal Foot Knights The white webbing stands nicely against the purple overcoats and gives these a more uniformed look.
	Feudal Foot Knights Count von Diagonal's foot knights.
	Feudal Foot Knights The obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Foot Knights I just picked the horse head for these.
	Feudal Foot Knights These are again all Black Tree models.
	Feudal Foot Knights There are some red and some white tunics for variety. I intentionally made them a little less uniform than the Royal guard.
	Feudal Foot Knights Flying the colors.
	Feudal Foot Knights More variety wouldn't hurt, but these are pretty nice anyway.
	Feudal Foot Knights Maybe I should get some decals...
	Feudal Foot Knights Gotta think up more color combos.
	Feudal Foot Knights The flags are pretty beefy, but they're also easy to see.
	Feudal Foot Knights Battle line.
	Feudal Foot Knights I probably should get all of these on the table some time.
	Feudal Foot Knights At least it's the right end of the horse.
	Feudal Foot Knights When in doubt, bash 'em.
	Feudal Knights The Royal Guard are here!
	Feudal Knights the obligatory overhead view.
	Feudal Knights Really too uniform for a try Feudal force, but I like them.
	Feudal Knights Coming at you!
	Feudal Knights Maybe I should get more lances.
	Feudal Knights I might add pennons later.
	Feudal Knights Some decals would be nice too.
	Feudal Knights An imposing sight.
	Feudal Knights All lined up.
	Feudal Knights I should think some new color schemes.
	Feudal Knights I put wooden shafts on these just to add some color.
	Feudal Knights Storing cavalry is irritating, though.
	Feudal Knights Not where you want to be.
	Feudal Knights Bashful, aren't they?
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Baron Saurus marches off.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Here's the magical shield.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Unfortunately I didn't have a lighter green.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus There's barely any room on the base for grass.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Hindquarters.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus The horse is so completely covered it doesn't really pay to do anything fancy with it, so I just painted it as a regular bay.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Rear view, common sight on battlefields.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Maybe I should have gone for fancier designs.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus There's a little bit of dark red to offset the light colors.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus This is an old GW Bretonnian knight. They apparently don't make these anymore.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Closeup on the shield and helmet.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus I'm still no good with shiny metals.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus Peon's view.
	LanceMate: Baron Saurus The model is perhaps a bit overly simple, e.g. there's no sword or stirrups.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Marquis d'BleCross showing off his lighter side.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross The darker side.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Riding to victory.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross The crosses could have been nicer.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross I used to hate painting white.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Hindquarters.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Rear view, which way is he going to turn?
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Riding off.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross It's really black, the lighting makes it look more gray than it really is.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Nothing fancy with the horse again.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross The sole spot of color.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Maybe I should paint a bunch of Teutonic Knights?
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Peon's view.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Another GW Bretonnian, straight from 1996.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross The very epitome of knightly virtues.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Maybe I should have painted the bat red or something?
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross This is perhaps even overly bland? Especially if it was all-black...
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Pretty good angle.
	LanceMate: Marquis d'BleCross Closeup on the helmet.
	Catapult This is a very old Grenadier kit.
	Catapult The obligatory overhead view.
	Catapult The fit of the parts was pretty horrible in places.
	Catapult Three vaguely medieval crew included.
	Catapult Launch!
	Catapult Pretty flat pose there.
	Catapult Pile of rocks also included.
	Catapult I really don't know what this guy is doing.
	Catapult Ready to bust some castles.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel North Goreland's Beloved Leader, Earl Gimmel rides forth!
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel Ready to crush all opposition.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The earl is known for his humility and honesty.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel For some reason the Citadel models from this era had lance rests.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel Applying the large decals was a tad difficult.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel It almost looks good.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel Rear view.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel There's a tear in the decal, I need to fix that.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel Perhaps the color scheme is a bit bland? Oh well...
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel I didn't have a red star with a yellow outline in the right size for the shield, so I painted the outline. Could have been neater...
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The boar's head is really rather overblown.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel A little bit of patterning on the lance.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The horse has a metal head.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel Closeup from front quarter.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The headbands look nice and they are surprisingly easy to paint.
	LanceMate: Earl Gimmel The PR shot for posterity.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious Sir Vicious of The Holy Order of Sex Daggers riding at you.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious It's a bit more white than I would really have cared for.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious The lance stripes are not actually even.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious The glare hides the message.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious I tried to find an authentic color scheme but in the went with this because it's a good base for the graffiti.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious The horses are a bit dull under the caparison.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious The graffiti is done with a pen -- I'm not this good at freehanding.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious It's the glare again.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious Closeup on the shield. I did the design with a pen first and then painted on top.
	LanceMate: Sir Vicious I wanted to name the horse but in the end didn't.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Interestingly I like this even though usually I don't like blue and red color schemes.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Sir Trumpet hails from the land of Armorica, where he vows to Make Armor Great Again!
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Sir Trumpet has a magical horn he uses to distract his opponents.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet It's Sam on the pole!
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Surprisingly, I had fairly little problems with the decals. MicroSol is just great stuff!
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Forwards!
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet The banner bearer is actually a hybrid. The body is old GW Bretonnian, the legs are Foundry and the horse is Front rank.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet I had a little problem with the saddle.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet Stripes would have been better but I just lacked confidence.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet I need to get more decals.
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet The legs did not fit in the saddle, so I had to make last minute adjustments...
	LanceMate: Sir Trumpet But should I paint a whole unit of these?
	Knights Two more knights to the fray!
	Knights The obligatory overhead view.
	Knights Bravely onwards!
	Knights These are Foundry knights on Front Rank horses. The original Foundry horses were so tiny I decided to get new ones. Fitting them wasn't completely without problems...
	Knights The blues are actually different tones, though very similar in the end.
	Knights Maybe we'll call him a sergeant or something. I quite like the hook sword.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili Sir Raili rides for Knight Lives Matter.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili Onwards, brave fellows.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili I used some glazes to tint the armor.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili Maybe I should have given him a white horse after all...
	LanceMate: Sir Raili Rear quarter view.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili The shield emblem was a bit difficult to do.
	LanceMate: Sir Raili The shield is a bit bland, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it...
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick Sir Patrick rides forth!
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick I really had not clue about the color scheme when I started.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick Too bad I'm not good enough to freehand heraldry.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick Coming at you!
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick I still have a few of these old Bretonnians left.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick Side view.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick Rear quarter.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick More horse ends.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick The shield could have been better. I need to figure out the proper technique for doing these.
	LanceMate: Sir Patrick I gave him white gloves for effect.
	LanceMate: Sir James Sir James rides forth.
	LanceMate: Sir James The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir James I was pretty short on ideas, honestly.
	LanceMate: Sir James I tried to get a tuxedo feel with the black and white color scheme.
	LanceMate: Sir James The is a Front Rank model. They're pretty nice and very hefty. The horses are big and solid.
	LanceMate: Sir James I thought about doing a white horse, but I went with black anyway.
	LanceMate: Sir James And now he doesn't fit in a box...
	LanceMate: Sir James That's actually two cut up decals and some freehand work.
	LanceMate: Sir James Maybe it's a teeny bit bland.
	LanceMate: Sir James Yep, no lance stripes or spiral this time.
	Monks Monks, probably from Black Tree.
	Monks The obligatory overhead view.
	Monks There's actually a duplicate figure in this set.
	Monks I haven't used this shade of brown for clothes, but now that I tried it out it actually looks pretty good.
	Monks Hmmm... the identical twin.
	Monks Are they running from something?
	Monks All lined up.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary Sir Gary, the famous inpac knight rides ahead.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary Sir Gary is a very very old figure from Portege minis, probably early to mid 80's.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary I modernized his mount, though. The original was too much of a pony.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary Rear quarter view. The color scheme is really no frills this time.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary The shield insignia is probably some knightly order or another, but that's completely unintentional. It was just a simple design to paint.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary I think it was originally called Evil Knight or something similar. The equipment is definitely non-historical.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary I do like the helmet visor though, it has a sort of Cthulhu vibe.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary The horse is also pretty bland. Partly it's the caparison, partly I don't want it to take away attention from the knight and partly I just want to get it done fast. I more or less painted this whole thing in one night.
	LanceMate: Sir Gary The sword emblem could have used a bit more definition.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut Sir Helmut from KLM rides forth!
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut The obligatory overhead view.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut The pose really didn't lend itself to a shield.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut I hadn't done this color scheme yet...
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut Rear quarter view.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut Another rear view.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut I just love this helmet style.
	LanceMate: Sir Helmut The horse is wrong, but whatever...
