28mm English mounted knights, cir 1388

These fellows were it has to be said a bit of a struggle. work is busy at the moment so my time is short but I do find painting these types of individual figures much more difficult than say a battalion of Napoleonic troops which can be done as a production style, one colour after another. Add to this the bane of any medieval figure painter, heraldry then slowly does it as they say! Never mind they're done and fairly pleased I am too.

I did decide to only do the command stand plus one unit of English mounted as these chaps tended to fight on foot, not always of course, but mostly. The other twelve still to do will start off my French contingent for Crecy. All the figures here are from knights/esquires present at Otterburn 1388, but will do for other encounters as I'm not that fussy.

Sir Henry Percy (Hotspur). All heraldry is hand painted, as you can see I'm not great with any animals, geometric shapes fine but nothing 'living' as it were!

Left to right: Sir Rauf de Euar, Sir William Hilton, Sir Robert Umfraville, Nicholas Reymes esquire, Sir Ralf Percy, Sir Mathew Redman.

I'm seriously thinking of bulking out both sides of these forces, but not just yet. Maybe 10mm ECW next.
