A preponderance of white with the occasional splash of colour, but it looks quite effective to my eye:
As with most medieval armies, not much in the way of auxiliary troops with the main strike force being the knights. It will be interesting to see how they fare in their first outing which I am hoping should be January when our gaming resumes. Given the small size of the army to most opponents the tactic will be to strike fast and try to break through quickly before they become overwhelmed.
The total figure count for the project is 186 foot and mounted figures and 72 horses, for a total of 258 figures:
I am keen to get back to some 28mm Napoleonics but will run with the medieval theme for a bit longer and have a German army undercoated and on the painting table at the moment. There is an option to field German allies in the Teutonic list and, as they are cheaper troops, this will make sense for certain scenarios. I'm hoping I'll be able to complete this next army over the next six weeks but will see how that plays out given the usual run of Christmas functions which always seem to emerge this time of year.
Lawrence, this is a fabulous looking army! The preponderance of white makes this army pop. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. All that white broken by the odd bit of colour here and there is quite an effective combination.
DeleteThey look great Lawrence, and, like the Austrians, if that's what they wore, then why wouldn't you paint them like this....one might as well say there is a preponderance of red in any British army, 1700 - 1870!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, and true enough. I have painted a lot of Napoleonic Spanish which I was happy with, but the result was pretty much as expected. I was expecting pretty much more of the same sort of thing from these, but found them more enjoyable.
DeleteAmazing army Lawrence. You are an army painting machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. November was quite a productive month.
DeleteSpectacular...and surely redoutable!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. I'm very keen to see how they will perform on the table.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking little army there Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony. Small, but hopefully effective.

ReplyDeleteThey look great all together and impressive army, good effort 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, a small project which is well-suited for the end of another year.
DeleteA grand collection Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mark, I'm actually quite happy with this lot. I can't wait to get them into action.
DeleteSplendid looking army, I'm sure they'll be more effective than your Napoleonic Spanish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain. Yes, Napoleonic Spanish are definitely a labour of love, whereas this army should be a tough nut to crack.
DeleteThey look superb Lawrence!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, they have quite a distinctive look about them.
DeleteTeutonic knights and their companions are looking really impressive. I once had some Teutonic knights and their enemies produced by Zvezda too.
